RICK ROSS is a multi-talented phenomena!

RICK ROSS is one of the most talented musicians I have ever heard. He is equally brilliant on vocals, piano, and all three saxophones! His repertoire includes everything from Billy Joel and Elton John to the Great American Songbook and Broadway. His captivating personality makes him one of most exciting rising stars on the music scene today.

Birthday party of a lifetime accomplished!

I have had the pleasure of watching Rick Ross perform and I knew he would be such a special touch by adding him to our recent event in April. We hosted a combination "70th" Birthday party for my Mother in law and Father in law. We had so many different threads of their life here, family and family that traveled for the event, former co workers as Dad recently retired, long time friends, friends from church. Rick's talent made everyone connect and come together with his beautiful talent and amazing personality. We are so grateful he performed for our event and would highly recommend adding Rick to your next event!

Perfect choice for birthday celebration!

Rick was the perfect choice for the birthday celebration at the 7 Lakes country club. He provided excellent music to include piano and sax with vocals but was behind the scenes enough to allow for easy conversation and activities tied to the party. Would highly recommend him for these types of events!
