Bio

Originally hailing from Vancouver, BC, Morgan Cameron Ross has seen it all. As the front man of multiple successful bands, including Bellwoods and Birds of Wales, Morgan has toured the world with everyone from Ron Sexsmith to Xavier Rudd to The Backstreet Boys. Influenced by Ryan Adams, The Shins, and Elliott Smith, Morgan has earned himself numerous Top 10 Billboard hits along with Platinum and Gold records for his songwriting talents for other artists.

Morgan once got in a fight with Matthew McConaughey after McConaughey lunged an insult at his cat. He’s also the cousin of Bob Ross. Yes. That Bob Ross. Never short for talking points and always looking for his next project, Morgan’s new single, ‘Please Don’t Let Me Down’ was produced in Vancouver by Half Moon Run producer, Nygel Asselin.
