Vox&Guitar - Dr. Kellen Ross Kellen Ross was born into a five-person family as the youngest of three brothers. Growing up in various West Texas cities, life was "normal" for Kellen. Baby-Boomer parents raising three boys in a packed house gave Kellen the beginning fuel that would later bring him to his musical journey.
At the age of seven Kellen moved from Lubbock Texas to what is known as the "Heart of the Bible Belt". Abilene Texas. Abilene set the stage for a long road of religious oppression, mental trauma, and consequential diversion from the norm.
At the age of 14, Ross began experiencing life as an adolescent boy in America. And for the first time in his life, Kellen turned to music for refuge. Delving himself into all colors of rock music from many mid-90's bands, he found fuel for not only to deal with life, but for his path in life. Kellen knew by the age of 16 that he was born to create music worthy of being heard. Submersing himself into modern rock music from this moment forward, Kellen was not fully aware of his role in modern music until his relocation to Dallas at the age of 19. Ross moved alone to Dallas in the fall of 2005 determined to create all original music that defied the boundaries of music. Music that wasn't afraid to speak. Music that made the world awaken from it's mundane routine, and foremost, music that allows the listener to feel.
Ross' vision has led him to being able to say "I'm singing in these songs." when an Opium Symphony original is played on the radio, and Kellen Ross is now the frontman of Texas' fastest growing original rock band and one of Texas' most influential musical acts... The Opium Symphony.

A symphonic whirlwind of emotion, poetry, revolution, and pure music from the soul.
The Opium Symphony is recording their first full-length album beginning in January 2010. It is from our utmost excitement to inform you of this. The album will consist of 13 tracks consisting of about 5 “already debuted” songs that we have completely re-written and polished, and 8 never released songs that we am very proud to get into the ears of the public.
All songs will be tracked at the highest quality recording equipment of today here in the great city of Dallas! The album should open up major doors for The Opium Symphony including: more radio airplay, better venues and tours, and more.
The songs appearing on the album are startlingly the best The Opium Symphony has written. To say the least, we plan on making an album that is the best you, a friend, a venue, a record label, and anyone for that matter, has heard in a long time. And with no arrogance intended, we are confident this will happen, and believe it will bring much change to our lives. Thank you for your belief and support in rock n’ roll, and in the dreams and abilities of O.S.
We love you all so much. Thank YOU for empowering The Opium Symphony to live and breathe! ~OS
I haven't forgotten about the battle of the band show, but unfortunately I won't be able to make it. My folks & I are going to Mississippi to visit my brother & his family. Sorry guys, I wanted to be there & know I at least did my part to help y'all towards winning, but oh well. I'm pretty sure I'll make the show on the 21st though & I might catch the acoustic gig on the 7. Hey, and best of luck to y'all Sunday!!
