Ross Antony was born in Shropshire/England into an artistic family. At the age of three he was already performing on stage alongside his father. Later he attended the "Guildford School of Acting" near London. There he not only underwent professional vocal training but also extensive dance training in ballet, jazz, modern and tap dance and gained his diploma in 1995.
He performed in various pantomimes and musicals in England both during and after his training in Guildford. However, it wasn't until 1997 that the world premiere of "Catharine" finally brought him to Germany. After "Catharine" he went on to perform in various galas and shows, releasing his first solo CDs "And that's the way it is" and "Intimate".
His first title roles were in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dream-coat" and "Tabaluga & Lilli". He also performed in the world premiere of "Mozart" in Vienna/Austria and during rehearsals for the 70s musical "Hair" he auditioned for the German version of "Popstars" and after several rounds became a member of the successful Pop and R'n'B band Bro'Sis.
The first single "I Believe" turned out to be the most successful newcomer release in Germany selling well over 1,500,000 copies altogether. This initial success was followed by several concert tours through Germany's club scene as well as their sold out "Never Forget" headliner tour in the largest venues in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. After being part of Germany's music business for over four years, Bro'Sis accumulated three albums, eight singles (most of which gaining Gold and Platinum status), eleven video clips, countless live TV appearances as well as awards like Bambi Award, Golden Europe Award, Viva Comet Award, Golden Bravo Otto and Top of the Pops Award.
