ROSS SEDDON - SONGSMITH, SINGER & MUSICIAN
A GENERAL bio
Ross Seddon began his musical journey upon leaving school in 1971 at Maidstone, in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Although initially taught guitar by Tony Naylor, Tony realized Ross was a natural at writing songs words and music. They suspended guitar training and he taught and encouraged Ross to develop and concentrate on Ross’s seemly natural talent of song writing. With Tony’s assistance Ross’s first recording at Armstrong Studio’s South Melbourne in 1973. Ross also undertook some vocal lessons around that same period.
Throughout the 70’s Ross began playing in acoustic bands, playing restaurants, clubs and theatre but progressively he developed his music via a range of rock bands.
Band List:
1974-6; Wish & Talis;
1976-7; The Minors
1978-81; Homegrown.
The bands were electric rock bands featuring mostly original songs, mostly written by Ross, where he was the lead singer with guitarist duties. Limited recordings do survive featuring mainly the Homegrown band both live, practice and in studio out takes.
Ross and the band had some label interest from CBS LA., visiting USA during 1979 but failed to impress enough. Ross and the band continued to develop their original song base and fan following. With no commercial breakthrough, Homegrown disbanded in early 1982.
Ross during 1982-5 decided pursue a “songwriting” career and recorded a Solo EP featuring songs “But Why”, “Ice one the Wall” and “Morning – I want out”. These songs were acclaimed locally for originality and performance but again saw no real commercial success. Ross continued to write songs for a few local bands during this period plus production and recording engineering for same bands.
Ross has maintained a low music public profile for many years resurfacing to record “Alone” in Perth 1996 but generally operated for others without the need or want to create his own profile.
Current – 2017
During 2016 Ross after a motor bike accident decided to rebirth his passion songwriting and his own profile. This decision had the result of a recording a wonderful LP “You’re the Reason” released March 2017 gaining great reviews and praise.
This new work featuring some very respected local (Australian) and international musicians, marks an astonishing songwriting rebirth via this sensational album. The songs validate Ross’s musical maturity and genre diversity combined with his very original songsmith content and arrangements. This recording was produced and directed by Ross, to capture his own unique style demonstrating his own ability as an exciting performer and producer in his own right.
