| By the age of three Phyllisia Ross, known by her stage name, Phyllisia, knew she was destined to be an entertainer.|Her father envisioned her becoming a medical doctor. However, convinced that Phyllisia knew|what she wanted, her father bought her a piano at the age of five, after he saw his daughter|playing the neighbor’s piano. From that time, Phyllisia sought to entertain anyone who would|listen to her sing, play the piano or watch her perform.|Unfortunately, at the age of ten, Phyllisia’s dad passed away. It was a traumatic time for her, but|she made a promise to her dad that she would fulfill both her wishes and his; specifically, she|would become both an entertainer and a doctor. For the next few years she took both vocal and|piano lessons to perfect her craft. Today, Phyllisia is an accomplished pianist and singer. She also|fulfilled her silent promise to her dad by enrolling at Florida State University, where today she is|a junior majoring in Biology. She is well on her way to becoming a pediatrician and an|entertainer, achieving both of her goals.|Phyllisia’s signing to her record label was an act of “divine intervention.” At the age of sixteen,|she recorded the song, “Wind Beneath My Wings,” as a tribute to her late father. That was the|first song on her demo CD. Coincidently, that same song carries special family significance for|the CEO of her record label. It took no more than four bars of Phyllisia’s soulful, powerful voice|emanating from the CD to convince him that Phyllisia was a rare talent, “divinely sent.” He|immediately reached for the phone and asked his staff to track down the person with the divine|voice.|Today, Phyllisia is signed to SoBe Entertainment in South Beach, Florida. Her debut album,|entitled “Lady Amour,” is scheduled for release this fall. With three platinum producers (Steve|Morales, Scott Storch and Bigg “D”) contributing, her first single from the album, “Fairy Tale,”|is scheduled for release on May 27th. The album exemplifies her vocal ability as she delivers|R&B and Pop classics to her audience. In memory of her dad, she both wrote and co-produced|the heart wrenching, “Daddy’s Little Girl” as her signature performance on the album. Phyllisia|states, “This song is my way of showing my dad what he really means to me. Although he was|taken from me at such an early age, his impact and influence on me has been monumental. He has|given me the inspiration I need to try and reach all the goals that I have set for myself, not only in|music, but academically as well.”|Phyllisia also credits her mom for giving her the indomitable will, drive and courage to|accomplish whatever she sets out to accomplish. Referring to her mom Phyllisia states “she is my|rock and my ultimate role model. She really exemplifies what a strong woman should be. With|her example, I feel she is the reason why I have high expectations for myself.|My mother’s my greatest influence and is completely the reason why I am the person I am today.|With the undying support of my parents and entire family, I know I can accomplish anything I set|my mind to.”|Inspired by artists such as Sade, Anita Baker, and Alicia Keys, Phyllisia’s smooth and soulful|vocals are reminiscent of a combination of all three styles. With an incredible combination of|beauty, intelligence, musical, and vocal ability, Phyllisia is already on her way to solidifying her|reputation as one of the top entertainers in the music industry.|Phyllisia reminds us that her goal is to “positively influence people in many different ways. Most|importantly through music, but also through academics, integrity and character.” |
