Robert Ross got his Barbershop start back in high school, singing in a quartet in the Kiwanis Music Festival in London, Ontario. Unaware that barbershop was an option as a musical outlet after high school, Robert was employed by "It's Showtime Productions" and was a member of their N*Sync cover band. Music has always been a passion and has become a mainstay in his life. Roberts' work life moved him to Toronto, at that point he knew he was going to audition for and sing with the Toronto Northern Lights, and has done so for more than 15+ years. Robert serves as the head performance coach for the Northern Lights and has won numerous international medals with the chorus including Gold in 2013. Robert has performed all over the world including China, Sweden, Germany, England, The Netherlands, USA, and Canada. He is the Bass of Ripple Effect, the three time Ontario District MBHA Quartet Champion and the 2018 3rd place World Mixed Quartet Champion. While most recently becoming the first Ontario District Mixed Quartet Champion in 2019. And Ontario District representatives to the BHS international contest in 2022. Robert is also the assistant director of the Simcoe Gentlemen of Harmony, and serves as the VP Youth-in-Harmony for the Ontario district of the BHS. He also serves on the board of directors for Sing Canada Harmony. Robert is proud to say he is now the Performance Director to the incredible Harbourtown Sound.
Robert is a sought after coach for Quartets and Choruses all over the globe, and is the 2018 winner of the Larry Dale Coach Of The Year Award. He enjoys working with all levels of performers to use their own organic feelings to build genuine, heartfelt, and believable performances, allowing them the chance to honour their music and to take the audiences on an emotional journey. Robert has achieved a major goal in barbershop by becoming and currently is a Performance Judge for the Barbershop Harmony Society.
