Artist Biography

Welcome! Thanks for taking a moment to view my profile & listening to the music, if you do...
I hope you'll find it interesting.

Music is a funny thing, yes? Every living thing on this planet responds to and recognizes tone & melody. There are few things in life that are so universal.

I find it fascinating that something so seemingly simple can unify a nation, embed a memory that lasts a lifetime, and bring a strength that can inspire us through the most trying of experiences.

Second only to love & life itself, music, however you hear it, is a gift that should not be analyzed but instead freely given, freely received, & cherished for simply what it is.

Life is experienced through so many different perspectives & most of the pieces I write are, in one way or another, a representation of my experiences or those of friends. To that end, I would like to invite you to send me your stories, as they are often my muse.

Russ is a composer & producer who, for more than a decade,
has succeeded in capturing the thoughts and inner moments of his
listeners while their minds wander into memory, imagination, & aspiration.

He continues to write when the muse inspires,
as those who already know his music ask for more.
Russ composes for story and film, for occasion, & for
the pure joy and contentment it brings.

A musician in every sense of the word, he awakes with a dreamsong
echoing in his ear, hears a symphony in the wind, and marvels at the
possibility of filing his days with the process and challenge of being a
full time musician. Pause for a moment, as so many others have, and
let your mind soar to a far away place of wonder, sweet memory, or
discovery as you listen.
