The New Old Soul:
Meet Kim Ross
Future classic: if Kim Ross was a genre, that would be it. This Korean/Scottish artist is in fact an old soul: that becomes clear when she opens her mouth to sing. Kim's, sexy, passionate vocals reveal, in fact, a true artist who soars above today’s pop/R&B clichés in search of a truth that’s all too rare in this era of reality shows and manufactured stars. Ross’ maturity as a performer stems from the exotic path she took to become a performer. Born in Hong Kong, Ross moved to California when was 7, the cross-cultural switch laying the foundation for her later style.
In her new home, Ross began her singing career like many of the greats—in church; however, as her talent grew, she found herself moving away from the boy-band pop her teen peers favored, exploring instead the raw, timeless music of previous eras. In particular, Ross gravitated towards the mavericks who put their own stamp on music, regardless of genre. From archetypal divas like Aretha Franklin and Anita Baker, iconoclastic virtuosos like Van Morrison and Joni Mitchell, jazz icons like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, supreme soul men like Stevie Wonder and Donnie Hathaway, even pop chameleon Madonna—if it was unforgettable and sounded like no one else, Ross found a way to make it her own.
Ross knew she had to take action to make her solo career a reality. “I’d always dreamed of moving to New York, so I went,” Ross says. “I didn't know anybody. Finally, I met with a pianist and we started rehearsing standards. I eventually started performing solo at little places all around the city.” In those side-street bars and clubs, Ross forged her signature sound, developing her identity as an artist. And now the dream is real. Kim Ross. Future classic. A new-school old soul. And most of all, a voice you won’t forget anytime soon…
Kim, I hope this comment reaches you, your family and friends in great health and spirits.
I wanted to take time to personally Thank You for your valuable friendship and never ending support of me and my musical endeavors. Mere words can't truly express the depth of gratitude felt in my heart however, they're all I have so, THANK YOU !
I'd like to also wish you and your family Peaceful, Joyous and Loving times as the Holidays approach. May you be blessed with all that you desire for yourself and for your loved ones.

Kim, I hope that you and your family are in great health and spirits. I'm feeling good however, it's getting colder here in Michigan and I'm hoping to not only avoid getting sick but also that H1N1. I've never been a person to get the flu shots before winter and I've always fared well however, this thing has me wondering maybe I should change up my process. Outside of that, writing plenty of new material and the release of the new CD has been so delayed that even the songs originally scheduled to be on it has changed as newer material has emerged and sound better. I hope I can get this done before the ole dirt nap ! Being back in Michigan sucks as there are no jobs, music opportunities are far less prevalant than in Nashville and the weather sucks, still it's good to be alive and near my children. When you have the opportunity, let me know what's been going on with you and your music endeavors. Take care, stay safe, and have a wonderful rest of your week and weekend ahead beautiful lady !
