Ross Pomfret
I am a solo artist that has music ranging from Country to Pop. I am currently working on an album which should be finished pretty soon and is pencilled in for released Feb/March 2008.

Singing from the age of 10 shows that this is something I love to do. I only took my singing to another level when I started singing with my first karaoke machine, which I got Christmas 2003.
After a year or two and performing in front of family and friends, I began to do it in front of other people. You may want to know that I am one of those people who are shy and this took a lot of guts to do. I first became ‘audience friendly’ when I sung at a local carnival event, singing Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad by Meat Loaf yes I am a Big Meat Loaf Fan! Everyone that listened to me said afterwards that I had a hidden talent. They didn’t expect a boy like me, 15 back then, shy and coming out with a voice that I have now.
Performing in front of an audience grew as I performed at many occasions, some birthdays and at the Carnival that my village holds every year.
I only began to record music when I got a home recording multi-tracker for Christmas 2006. All day Christmas Day I would record covers and some worked out fine and some, well, let’s just say they have been shelved and not recovered since. You learn from your mistakes, that’s life!
It was only one day I was looking on the net that I came across a songwriter and now a friend who has given me lots of tips and helps me with all my questions, that’s when he isn’t busy doing his own work. I have to thanks to Neil for that.
The songs that he writes are what you hear on my site now. They will also be available to purchase on my up-coming album: I’ve Got Issues, including some songs I have co-written and some songs that aren’t just written by Neil but from other songwriters too that I have made contacts with over the past months.
I am now presently a solo artist and am working on the album and trying to get the music I sing heard to across the world. I also plan in the near future to not have it just for sale on my site but on itunes too.
Apart from singing, I have side hobbies, but singing is the main one. I love theatre lighting, have been fascinated by it since seeing Meat Loaf Live in 2004. I am also into Web Design and have helped out a golf course with their site which may become live next season, we hope.
I hope I do become successful with my music as without music I wouldn’t be who I am today.Have you performed in front of an audience?Sometimes yes. I am afterall starting out and only play local events to me in Scotland, UK. I would love to though spread and gig futher away like England and the US.
Your musical influences
Meat Loaf mainly - been into him since I was 7 when my dad played it in the car.
Patti Russo is great too, she sung with Meat from 1993 - 2006 and is now focusing on her own music and she inspires me alot...
I like other bands too, mainle the older ones..
