==Biography==
Ross began his career as a street busker before becoming a cartoon and voice artist, rock singer, and an actor for the small and large screen. Discovered by [Pete Townshend](/source/Pete_Townshend) in 1994, Ross was cast in the title role for the Canadian premiere of [The Who](/source/The_Who)'s ''[Tommy](/source/Tommy_(rock_opera))'', for which he was honored with the [Dora Award](/source/Dora_Mavor_Moore_Award) for Outstanding Performance in a Musical. He spent the next ten years on musical stages across North America, starring in roles at such venues as the [Stratford Festival](/source/Stratford_Shakespeare_Festival) (Tony in ''[West Side Story](/source/West_Side_Story)''), [Shaw Festival](/source/Shaw_Festival) (Franklin in ''[Merrily We Roll Along](/source/Merrily_We_Roll_Along_(musical))''), and on Broadway (Chris in ''[Miss Saigon](/source/Miss_Saigon)''). During this time, Ross also wrote and recorded two CDs of original music, and was a frequent guest soloist with a number of leading orchestras in Canada and the United States.
In 1999, he was the singing voice of Manic in the television series ''[Sonic Underground](/source/Sonic_Underground)''.[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0230804/fullcredits/]

The band was signed to [Decca/Universal](/source/Decca_Records) for five years, and during that time he released three CDs: ''La Donna'', ''East Village Opera Company'', and ''Olde School'' - for which he was nominated for a 2009 [Grammy Award](/source/Grammy_Award) for Classical Crossover Album of the Year. Ross toured worldwide with [EVOC](/source/East_Village_Opera_Company) and appeared on many national and international television broadcasts including the 2008 Miss USA Pageant (NBC), and two PBS specials: ''EVOC live in Saint Louis'', and ''Remember Me'' – a multi-disciplinary collaboration he co-created with choreographer David Parsons.[{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/10/arts/dance/10pars.html|title=A Love Triangle's Toll Goes Beyond Three People|newspaper=The New York Times|date=9 January 2009|last1=Kourlas|first1=Gia}}]
