BIO

DJ Ross One got his start in Cincinnati, Ohio, where a then 13-year old Ross Schwartzman became transfixed with the depiction of DJ’ing in the movie Juice. From that fateful first viewing, Ross was hooked to the sounds and aesthetic of the hip-hop DJ. High school and college meant unpaid jobs at record stores where the salary was store credit and first pick of the new arrivals. The pursuit of a masters degree in photography, along with the search for bigger and better parties lead Ross to New York City. He quickly became a fixture at New York’s best venues, known for combining his knowledge of classic funk, soul and disco with new hip hop and dance music.  His unique sound caught the ears of artists like Prince, who invited Ross to join him on tour to DJ his private after parties. He began jetting back and forth between New York, Brazil and Miami, where he launched a Tuesday night party that merged the sounds of Rio De Janeiro funk, New York City hip hop, and Miami bass to create something entirely fresh and unique. It quickly became the best weekly party in South Beach. Currently, Ross is considered one of the top Open Format DJ’s in the country. He is a fixture at the best nightclubs in the United States, as well as at events for clients like Louis Vuitton, W Magazine, Armani, Vogue, and countless others. Ross One was selected by Jay-Z to join his management company, Roc Nation, and is the official DJ of the legendary Roc Nation Brunch. From Paris Fashion Week to Tokyo’s Premier Hip Hop Party to the beaches of Rio de Janeiro and every city in between, he has earned the reputation as the go-to DJ for the world’s top venues, events, and exclusive weddings. Ross always knows the key ingredients to a perfect play list – resulting in everyone’s favorite party.
