Ross Rowley

Coming from a family of musicians and instrument makers, I began my musical training at Beau Soleil music college in Cape Town, South Africa. I was mentored by some of the best national and international teachers, such as Hermina De Groote, as well as Tchaikovsky Conservatorium violinist and lecturer, Farida Bacharova. I was fortunate enough to have lecturers such as these available in both a personal capacity as one-on-one tutors and also as orchestral masters. ​After studying first-year music at the South Africa College of Music, I expanded my studies to include media and film, graduating in 2011 with a triple major bachelor's degree. My background in music spans live and studio-based work over 2 decades, and I have performed a variety of genres and groups, including classical orchestras, jazz quartets, rock, and even heavy metal bands. ​I am always working on new music, and regularly scoring South African television and radio commercials. My passions are an eclectic mix, from Film score, Synthwave, Epic music, and hybrid music. In my down-time, I write purely for the love of music.
