Rick Ross Entertainment on Piano, Sax and One man show

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA SEPTEMBER 2023:

Rick Ross, multi-talented pianist, saxophonist and vocalist performs a wide array of music with vocal styles from jazz standards to Broadway, pop and classic rock tunes. His saxophone repertoire is diverse and includes jazzy interpretations of pop tunes and styles from Latin to big band.

A native of Indianapolis, Indiana, Ross attended Cornell University in New York, where he received a BA Degree in German Area Studies. He then obtained a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from the Cornell School of Hotel Administration. He is fluent in English and German.

Rick Ross first pursued his musical calling as a saxophonist performing in ensembles including the Indianapolis Symphonic Orchestra. He began to hone his performance skills while studying abroad in Germany, playing sax in a band and solo piano engagements in the university town of Göttingen. Soon after returning to the United States, his musical emphasis shifted from saxophone to piano where he performed for brunches and dinner parties on Cornell campus. From graduate school, Rick was recruited to work for InterContinental Hotel in San Diego. However, it wasn't long before he left his career in hotel operations and made his professional debut as a daily pianist in the lobby of a downtown San Diego office tower. Since then, he has been a featured performer at events across the globe, returning in August 2023 from playing ten shows in Berlin.

Ross is entirely self-taught at the piano, yet classically trained on the saxophone. A uniquely versatile musician, Rick Ross adds a compelling ambiance to any special occasion. Whether seated at a concert grand playing romantic classics, or surrounded by his “one man band” gear, Rick Ross can dazzle audiences with anything from background music to energetic sing-along and dance music. He has portable equipment for outdoor events and is available for banquets, weddings and other private functions.
