Who Is Apollo Night LA ‘Artist of the Week’ Dru Ross?

Apollo Night LA (@ApolloNightLA)“Artist of the Week” Dru Ross (T: @drurossmusic) is on a journey that begins with small town roots to chasing the BIG dream in Hollywood. A chance encounter on a family vacation in 2015 led to Dru being discovered by a record executive, and now the multi-talented young artist in his mid twenties has just recently finished his first EP, “Love Simulation: Stimulation for the Nation” co-writing with Producer Larry Weir and working with Grammy® Award winning Recording Engineer, Tom Weir at the iconic Studio City Sound.

The first single from the 5 song EP is also the title track in “Love Simulation” which Dru admits, “The music tells the story.” Dru adds, “It’s about the good times, out with the bad, in with the new.” (Also a lyric from “Love Simulation”). “I ain’t just a book, you can feel these pages.” (Lyric from “Lookin’ for a Winna”)

Dru acknowledges he has a couple of missions with his music: “It’s time to shake things up in hip hop so I’m bringing REAL music back with that 90’s feel. It’s time to rock out — good vibes all way. And if you’re feeling funky and loose — you definitely want to check me out. To give a nod to JT (Justin Timberlake)…I’m bringing sexy way back, baby – with the hot and bothered tour. Spicing it up extra HOT!”

Dru has a unique flavor to him which makes him entertaining but he’s also very sincere. Drew co-hosted Apollo Night LA, check the video and get a bar of his persona!

From the outside looking in, who is Dru Ross?

I’m all heart.  I take the clothes outta my closet to dapper my boys up. Everyone’s flossin’ when u rock with me.

What brought you to the entertainment industry, music specifically?

Music was always undeniable for me, it doesn’t put you down and try to be little you, it’s poetry in motion, the one thing that’s pure thoughts untouched , the music frees my soul.

Tell us about your current project and your ApolloNightLA “Artist of the Week” winning single “Love Simulation.”

My EP sets the mood baby, I’m feelin’ funk. Smooth, grooves is what I do. You can bump my music rollin with yo grandma. “Love Simulation’s” bringing the funk back. I’m the facilitator of passion with this one baby.

In July, Dru’s “Love Simulation” single #LoveSimulation became the #1 most added new song on national radio, ahead of James Bay, Katy Perry, and ColdPlay…

 

For new listeners, what song of yours would you pick as an introduction to you?

Love Simulation baby! I’m running naked In the jungle with this sound.

Last but not least, HYPE wants to know…What’s your CRAZIEST “Where they do that at?!” moment…

Performing at the Whiskey a-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip. The beautiful people in the audience wanted an encore. I went acapella, rhyming for reason, spreading the magic with passion to the fullest of my abilities.
