Tyley Ross

Ross began his career as a street busker before becoming a cartoon and voice artist, rock singer, and an actor for the small and large screen.

Discovered by Pete Townshend in 1994, Ross was cast in the title role for the Canadian premiere of The Who’s Tommy, for which he was honored with the Dora Award for Outstanding Performance in a Musical.

During this time, Ross also wrote and recorded two CDs of original music, and was a frequent guest soloist with a number of leading orchestras in Canada and the United States.

In 2004 Ross co-founded the genre-defying East Village Opera Company[1] and spent the next six years as the group's male lead singer.

Ross toured worldwide with EVOC and appeared on many national and international television broadcasts including the 2008 Miss USA Pageant (NBC), and two PBS specials: EVOC live in Saint Louis, and Remember Me – a multi-disciplinary collaboration he co-created with choreographer David Parsons.
