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…
I thought that I would sent you a hello note. Sending you this poem today. I hope you like it.......
The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean, The winds of Heaven mix forever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one spirit meet and mingle. Why not Be my friend? -
See the mountains kiss high Heaven And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth And the moonbeams kiss the sea: What is all this sweet work worth If thou friendship not me?
I know you don't know me, but you add me as your friend, and I'm honored to be one of your friends. My name is Kyle Elliott, 22 years old, 5' 10", 205lbs, green eyes and a mixture of French and African American spices. I'm part of the newest singing group from the the family of Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick and Smokey Robinson. It's the first time that the family has put together a all boys singing group. And I hope we won't let you down. All I want to do is be one of your friends , if you don't mind, if I could send you a poem now and then, write about the things that happen to me in this crazy music business. Or just keep in touch to see how you're doing in life.
I just finished college and join together with my brothers Shermaine Jaqu'el and Frederick and my god brother Jason (DNA). We gave up our friends, family and life for the family. I guess you can say we sold our souls (smile). And the song "Walk like A Model" is just for you .

Hey Chicken-Heads Check out Theo, He has performed on my show a grip 'O times, but here is our first kitchen session.
Ok I have gotten into debates, sometimes heated (not on my side of course) about this artist. That is a fucking good sign he is changing an old game in a way that is similar to… I dare say, Michael jackson. But I’m not comparing them - but they both have a secret code in their steez that is as unique as a finger print. Just listen to him smash on a vast array of sonic, bass, treble, tempos, frequencies, beats, mainly provided by the magnificent Machinedrum. Then watch him live. FUCK FUCK FUCK. Now watch him mature into what’s to come. Headz up whole world.
Now on iTunes world wide！
