From an early age, ROSS FLORA showed strong signs of becoming a musical prodigy. His father cultivated his musical journey when he overheard Ross – who was just 12 at the time – performing along a Van Halen CD— he signed Ross up for guitar lessons that very day! Throughout his teenage years, Ross went on to perform at various venues and festivals. At 19, he joined The Kings on tour in Roanoke, Virginia, as a guitarist and vocalist.
The big decision of moving from his hometown Virginia to Nashville to take his music career to another level, had paid off fruitfully For Ross. His gutsy soulful fusion of Country and Folk along with compelling storytelling has earned him a dedicated following. Ross’ debut single ‘Cannonball’, released in 2002, was met with glowing reviews with fans hailing him ‘The Golden Age of Rock ’n’ Roll with a Southern Flare’. He followed up with his first EP, ‘Shoulders of Giants’, in July the same year, which landed him a feature in the Roanoke Times alongside fellow Virginian Morgan Wade as an emerging Nashville talent.
Despite his burgeoning music career, Ross felt he was at a crossroad. His latest single, ‘Cornerstone’ is a touching invitation into Ross’s life, where he felt spiritually stagnant. However with the unflappable love and firm support from the right people, Ross was able to rebuild his life. Woven in a blissful fusion of Americana, Country and Folk, ‘Cornerstone’ sees Ross cleverly utilising metaphors for building one’s life on a firm foundation amidst life’s trials and tribulations and paints a vivid picture of transformation, moving from a place of despair to rediscovering faith and stability.
Through its touching message, Ross hopes that ‘Cornerstone’ offers some comfort to anyone who suffered the same fate. More importantly, ‘Cornerstone’ is a reminder to appreciate the community of people who offered that helping hand, in order to be the best version of ourselves. After all, it was this type of support that saved Ross from a dark hole.
‘Cornerstone’ is now available across various music platforms. Why not listen to his heartfelt offering below…
