Welcome! Thanks for taking a moment to view my profile & listening to the music, if you do...
I hope you'll find it interesting.


Music is a funny thing, yes? Every living thing on this planet responds to and recognizes tone & melody. There are few things in life that are so universal.

I find it fascinating that something so seemingly simple can unify a nation, embed a memory that lasts a lifetime, and bring a strength that can inspire us through the most trying of experiences.

Second only to love & life itself, music, however you hear it, is a gift that should not be analyzed but instead freely given, freely received, & cherished for simply what it is.

Life is experienced through so many different perspectives & most of the pieces I write are, in one way or another, a representation of my experiences or those of friends. To that end, I would like to invite you to send me your stories, as they are often my muse.

Russ is a composer & producer who, for more than a decade,
has succeeded in capturing the thoughts and inner moments of his
listeners while their minds wander into memory, imagination, & aspiration.

He continues to write when the muse inspires,
as those who already know his music ask for more.
Russ composes for story and film, for occasion, & for
the pure joy and contentment it brings.

A musician in every sense of the word, he awakes with a dreamsong
echoing in his ear, hears a symphony in the wind, and marvels at the
possibility of filing his days with the process and challenge of being a
full time musician. Pause for a moment, as so many others have, and
let your mind soar to a far away place of wonder, sweet memory, or
discovery as you listen...

My goal, like so many others, is to have the freedom in this life to spend my time writing and sharing music. It is the language we speak, when words can't be found. It is our core, our connection...
