My name is Ross Umphrey. I'm from down south in sweet home Alabama and i love playin my guitar, college football (ROLL TIDE), NFL football (STEELERS), basketball, goin to church and hangin wit my youth group, and, of course, MUSIC. and i can probably name more artists, songs, and sometimes albums, than you! Playin my guitar is always a great way for me to end my day, and i love writin and learnin new songs. I am currently unsigned, as I am only 16 years old. I have been unsuccessfully been workin on puttin a band together, but, for now, I am solo.
I was born in Birmingham, Alabama and have lived here my whole life. I am finally at the Vestavia Hills High School (Go Rebels). I have been raised up in a United Methodist Church all my life and have learned to follow God through all situations, some of those the hard way. If i had to chose where i would go to college right now, i would chose to go to The University of Alabama and get some sort of business or sales degree. I got my first guitar only 2 years ago this Christmas. I picked up pretty quickly since i already knew how to read notes, chords, scales, and other types of music from playin the trumpet in sixth grade. I now write some of my own music, as well as play other songs. I hope you take the time to check out my various websites below and tell me what you think!
Direct quote from a friend on NRT that i thought was a pretty great compliment:
"You kind of reminded me of Nirvana...You have a similar feel of sound as Kurt Colbain But overall not to bad for only being 15.You play relatively clean on your notes and chords."
