Ross Victory is a Los Angeles-based multimedia artist whose life and work are stitched together with threads of resilience, transformation, and advocacy. With a portfolio that spans literature, music, and social activism, Ross is a beacon of creativity and change. He is the author of six published books, across nonfiction and fiction genres, a testament to his prolific output. ​ His journey into the arts was catalyzed by the loss of his father (2014) and brother (2017), reigniting a lifelong passion for creative writing that became a conduit for healing and connection. A multi-talented creator, Ross is best known for his award-winning father-son memoir, "Views from the Cockpit," his infectious tracks like "Bounce" and "Bisexual Daze," and the spine-chilling YA horror series "Grandpa's Cabin." Since debuting his music career in 2019, he has released 12 singles and 2 EPs, which capture a spectrum of styles and moods, reflecting the rich foundation of '90s R&B and hip-hop he was raised on.

As a former English teacher, he melds his love for language and gift for storytelling with his passion for music, crafting songs that are memorable and resonate deeply, such as "One Step at a Time," released on World Mental Health Day, and the trumpet-imbued "My Fault," a collaboration with Ne-Yo addressing racial injustice, self-pity, and blame. ​ Ross's advocacy journey is intertwined with his commitment to addressing societal issues, beginning with his involvement in homelessness organizations. His work with Shower of Hope and Covenant House underscores his dedication to illuminating the intersection of social justice and community service. This foundation in advocacy extends into his involvement and activism for the Bi+/LGBTQ communities. In 2020, Ross connected with StillBi.org, channeling his experiences and insights to aid in the development of an affirmative therapist directory as part of the Mental Health Justice Coalition subcommittee.

By the fall of 2023, he joined the board of the Los Angeles Bi+ Task Force an education and cultural enrichment non-profit in Los Angeles. Here, Ross champions safer workplaces but also gives a visibility to Bi+ Black Men and MSPEC young adults, advocating for their unique needs and rights. Ross' story also brings much-needed attention to elder abuse, shining a light on this often-overlooked issue and advocating for the dignity and safety, regardless of age or identity. Interweaving his talents in storytelling and music with direct action—is a testament to Ross' dedication to fostering inclusion and empowerment. His endeavors in higher education and various nonprofits reflect a life dedicated to uplifting others and advocating for change, making Ross Victory not just an prolific creator, but an agent of transformation.
