Ross Jennings

Born in Salisbury, UK, Ross grew up in Sutton, Surrey and picked up the guitar from a young age. 

His affinity with the guitar remained merely a hobby whilst he explored his passion for film-making and working as a freelance photographer. Reconnecting with school friends after completing his studies, Haken was formed in 2007, with Ross as the lead vocalist and lyricist.

The hugely successful modern progressive metal band needs no introduction in prog circles. They have been building a career with grace and gusto on the fringe of mainstream rock and metal. Ross is also a member of UK progressive metal act, Novena, where his undeniable appeal is his uniquely soothing yet versatile voice and captivating lyricism. 

In 2017, Ross was selected to front 'Mike Portnoy's Shattered Fortress’, a show that featured Ex-Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy performing the legendary '12 Step suite' among other classic Dream Theater anthems. The show was performed and toured internationally throughout 2017 and received fantastic reviews.

2020 gave Ross the opportunity to write and record his debut solo album, A Shadow oo My Future Self, which was released in November 2021. The album sees Ross as vocalist and guitarist, stepping slightly away from his progressive metal niche with songs crying out for mainstream rock radio.

D'Virgilio, Morse & Jennings was also born in 2020. The has now put out three well received albums and are slated for some live shows in 2024 and 2025.
