Kevin Ross: 2026 Experience
Kevin Ross is a Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, and performer from Washington, D.C., celebrated for his smooth vocals, heartfelt storytelling, and genre-blending vision. Since his breakthrough with “Long Song Away,” Ross has built an impressive catalog, collaborated with icons like Babyface, Toni Braxton, and Trey Songz, and headlined sold-out shows nationwide. In 2019, he founded his own label, Art Society Music Group, championing independence and creative freedom. His 2025 single “Love In The Middle” became his first #1 as an indie artist, holding the top spot on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay Chart for three consecutive weeks. Known for powerful performances, including Noochie’s Live From The Front Porch and Yams Sessions, Ross continues to push R&B forward with his album, LOVE UPTEMPO: MAX.
