Singer-songwriter Ross Lynch was born on December 29, 1995, in Littleton, Colorado. His full name is Ross Shor Lynch. Raised in a large family with four siblings—three brothers and one sister—Lynch was homeschooled from the fourth grade. His parents played a key role in nurturing his interest in music, encouraging him to learn guitar and piano early in life. Singing came naturally to him, a talent that flourished alongside his instrumental skills. Entertainment appears to run in the family, as he is a cousin of professional dancers Derek and Julianne Hough. In 2007, when Lynch was 12 years old, his family relocated to Los Angeles to support their children's growing interest in the performing arts.
Ross Lynch began his journey in the entertainment industry at a young age. In 2009, he performed with the music group Kidz Bop, which marked one of his early industry appearances. His major breakthrough came in 2011 when he was cast in the lead role as Austin Moon in the Disney Channel series Austin & Ally. The show ran for four seasons, airing until its conclusion in 2016, and established Lynch as a prominent young actor within the Disney franchise.
His success on television led to greater opportunities in film. In 2016, Lynch made his feature film debut in the teen comedy Status Update, which began filming in June of that year. In addition to his Disney roles, Lynch's film credits include playing Jeffrey Dahmer in the critically acclaimed independent film My Friend Dahmer (2017), showcasing his range as an actor.
Beyond acting, Lynch also built a formidable career in music. In March 2010, he and his siblings formed the pop-rock band R5, which released their debut EP Ready Set Rock. The band signed with Hollywood Records in September 2010 and gained popularity among teen audiences. Their 2013 EP Loud featured the hit title track and helped expand their fanbase. The single "Pass Me By" premiered on Radio Disney, while another track, "(I Can't) Forget About You," charted on the Billboard Digital Pop Songs chart, peaking at number 47.
As a multi-instrumentalist, Ross Lynch plays drums, guitar, and piano, bringing a dynamic energy to his performances both onstage and on-screen. His dedication to music continues to complement his acting pursuits.
