“This was a song Rush Davis started to create with producers Carlos Cháirez and Michael Tritter and I fell in love with the song and concept” Shaun shares. “We’re always going through complicated and troubling times, always being tried when moving closer to our dreams. But it’s about having endurance like cream. No matter what you put cream in, it rises to the top.”

Flirting with disco, R&B, pop, and taking sonic cues from artists as diverse as Björk, Stevie Wonder, and Donny Hathaway, SHIFT is a 10-track odyssey that is both deeply personal yet universally relatable. Previously released singles from SHIFT include “LIVIN,” a track about living fearlessly, the tactile, delicately unfurling electropop of “WX5,” as well as “YOU CARE” - watch Shaun perform the entire song in American Sign Language as a way of celebrating the importance of communication and body language HERE.

ABOUT SHAUN ROSS:

Born and raised in the Bronx, LA-based Shaun Ross is a singer/songwriter, model, and trailblazer for difference and acceptance. Ross has faced ongoing discrimination and bullying as a gay Black man with albinism. After studying dance at the Alvin Ailey School and posting his own Vogue-ing videos on YouTube, Shaun caught the attention of an agent, signed to a modeling agency, and began a successful fashion career at age 16. Ross fronted campaigns for Alexander McQueen and Fendi and appeared in music videos by Katy Perry (“ET”) and Beyoncé (“Pretty Hurts”), as well as Lana Del Ray’s short film Tropico. His talent led to collaborations with Rosalia, Diana Gordon, and Lizzo. He has performed at the Life is Beautiful Music & Art Festival, LA Pride, and the Recording Academy’s performance series. Shaun’s continuing advocacy for difference and representation has led him to pen pieces for Huffington Post about body positivity, body issues, and personal grooming. This spring Ross will release his debut album, SHIFT, a sumptuous recording inspired by his broad stylistic tastes, including R&B, pop, and disco. The album features a collaboration with poet and performance artist Ursula Rucker, and was produced by 12-time Grammy nominee Carlos Chairez/XRayTheBaby (KINKY) and producer/synthesist Michael Tritter.
