ABOUT

Universal Music Canada / MCA / CORE Records artist Josh Ross is carving his own lane in country music, continuing a breakout run that has made him one of the genre’s fastest rising stars. Canada-born and Nashville-based singer first made waves with a series of independent releases before breaking through with his debut EP, Complicated, which earned Ross his first-ever JUNO Award in 2025 for Country Album of the Year. Ross also leads the 2026 CCMA Awards with seven nominations, tying for the most nominations of any artists. The project included “Trouble”, a chart-topping hit that achieved Double Platinum certification in Canada and RIAA Gold certification in the U.S.

After notching four No.1 singles at Canadian Country radio, Ross made history with back-to-back No.1 hits at U.S. Country radio, as “Single Again” was followed by “Hate How You Look” at the top of the charts. The success of “Single Again” put him in an elite category as the first male Canadian country artist in nearly 30 years to top the US Country Airplay chart. “Single Again” is now certified 3x Platinum in Canada and RIAA Gold certified in the U.S., while “Hate How You Look” is Platinum in Canada.

Ross continues to build upon this star power with his debut album, Later Tonight, a collection of 15 songs that show off the smooth singer’s range of emotions and songwriting prowess, working alongside industry giants such as Ashley Gorley and Ryan Hurd. Having opened for superstars including Luke Bryan and Jelly Roll, Ross is just getting started making his mark on country music.
