Canadian Country Singer-Songwriter & Recording Artist; JUNO Award Winner for Country Album of the Year; No. 1 U.S. Country Radio Hitmaker
Josh Ross Biography
Josh Ross is a Canadian country singer-songwriter known for his transition from collegiate football to the country music industry. After attending Western University on a football scholarship, Ross shifted his focus to music following a series of injuries that ended his athletic aspirations. While working in construction management, he began performing at local venues, eventually gaining recognition at the Emerging Artist Showcase at the Boots and Hearts Festival, which led him to Nashville to pursue a career as a professional songwriter.
Ross blends modern country rock with influences from Guns N' Roses, Metallica, and Steve Earle, creating a sound characterized by a warm vocal tone and emotionally driven songwriting. His work has resulted in multiple Platinum-certified Top 5 Canadian country radio hits. Ross released his first single, "If You Were a Song," followed by the ballad "First Taste of Gone," which reached number five on the Canadian Country Charts, and "On a Different Night," which peaked at number four.
Ross gained further attention with his debut EP, "Complicated," which earned a JUNO Award for Country Album of the Year. The project featured "Trouble," a chart-topping hit certified Double Platinum in Canada and Gold by the RIAA in the United States. At the Canadian Country Music Awards, Ross received nominations in six categories and won Breakthrough Artist or Group of the Year. He also served as an opening act for Nickelback on the North American "Get Rollin' Tour" with Brantley Gilbert and made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
Ross achieved his first No. 1 hit at U.S. country radio with "Single Again," becoming the first male Canadian country artist in nearly 30 years to top the U.S. Country Airplay chart. "Single Again" is certified 3x Platinum in Canada and Gold in the United States, while "Hate How You Look" is Platinum in Canada. He won five awards at the Canadian Country Music Awards, including Entertainer of the Year and Single of the Year, and received the Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award during the CMA Awards broadcast, recognizing his international impact in country music.
Ross released his debut album, "Later Tonight," a 15-track collection highlighting his songwriting and vocal range, collaborating with industry figures such as Ashley Gorley and Ryan Hurd. With more than 950 million career streams, Ross has been recognized as an Artist to Watch by Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora, MusicRow, and the Grand Ole Opry. He leads the CCMA Awards with seven nominations, reflecting his growing influence in the country music industry in both Canada and the United States.
