Ross Victory is a Los Angeles–based multidisciplinary artist, award-winning author, poet, songwriter, educator, and creative entrepreneur whose work moves across literature, music, podcasting, and live programming. With a professional background in higher education and years of experience teaching English, Ross has worked closely with students and adult learners from around the world, shaping his belief in storytelling as a tool for curiosity, connection, and transformation.

His creative journey began with Views from the Cockpit (2019), his award-winning father-son memoir born from grief and memory, and has since expanded into the horror series Grandpa’s Cabin, the poetry collection Borderland, and Embracing All of Me, his two-time Communicator Award–winning platform of podcasts, webinars, panels, and creative programming centered on identity, imagination, embodiment, and Bi+ experience. His newest project, Binary Bashers (2026), turns toward history, recovering complicated lives that resist the tidy categories through audio documentaries.

That same refusal to be easily categorized runs through Ross’s music and writing. He moves from memoir to horror, poetry to cultural commentary, and gospel-infused ballads to unapologetic club records without treating any one expression as less authentic than another. Across mediums, his work is connected by emotive storytelling, vivid imagery, curiosity, and a fascination with what happens when people outgrow the boxes built for them.

Whether working with students, developing programming, writing books, or stepping behind the mic, Ross is interested in the possibilities that open when people are given room to question, imagine, and become.

Writer's Digest, Nicole Howard 

"I’m overwhelmed by the *gorgeous* language in this book...descriptive magic that reminds me of Alice Sebold’s breathtaking phrasing. So many stellar descriptions stopped me in my tracks so that I could turn the phrasing around and around in appreciation. Very well done. As the sensory details continue to bring the story to life, we find ourselves carried along in a fine cadence, as the plot progresses well, with no lulls in the middle. There is never a weak portion of the story."

Penguin Random House, Michael McConnell

"...Victory is a talented writer. He has written a compelling page-turner in a style that is personally reflective. Victory’s representation of his father bursts with love and awe. The questions of family, loyalty, honor, and truth emerge and will resonate with just about everyone. With an incredible ending that you must read to believe, this book does not disappoint." 

African American Literature Book Club, Robert Fleming
"Urgent, courageous words from a Black man confronting sexual orientation, guilt, cultural prejudice, and gender bias. It takes a lot to stand up."
