Biography Josh Ross
Josh Ross
is a global force; a next-generation talent who’s anything but standard. On an unconventional path of his own design, Ross pairs a dark and mellow blast of modern country with a warm vocal rasp and rock inclinations, heart-on-his-sleeve songwriting and addictive hooks that heed no borders. Pulling from a wide range of musical influences, the former collegiate football player has leveraged his knack for emotional song craft into a series of certified hits.
His dusky power ballad “Trouble” rose to #1 in Canada, earning Double Platinum certification in Canada and RIAA Gold certification in the U.S. The track also introduced what would become his 2024, 8-song EP, Complicated, which earned Ross his first-ever JUNO Award in 2025 for Country Album of the Year. On September 19, Ross doubles down on the emotive, rock-tinged country that has defined his worldwide ascent releasing his full-length debut album, Later Tonight.
Canada-born and Nashville-based, the reigning 2024 CCMA Entertainer of the Year, 6x 2025 CCMA Award nominee, and winner of the 2024 CMA Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award tallies over 1 billion streams, touring alongside hard-rocking, cross-genre superstars like Nickelback, Brantley Gilbert, Bailey Zimmerman, and Luke Bryan. He wrapped tour support to Jelly Roll on The Beautifully Broken Great Northern Tour across Canada and will open select dates for Dylan Scott this fall. Recently announced his Canadian headline tour for 2026 and will be joined by musician and songwriter Chandler Walters.
