Ross Learmonth, the acclaimed songwriter and vocalist steps into a new chapter in his illustrious solo career with the release of his latest single, “Because of You”.
Marking a departure from his previous endeavors and showcasing a stripped-down, raw musicality, this track serves as a testament to Learmonth’s artistic evolution and unwavering dedication to his craft.
The introspective journey of Ross Learmonth takes a decisive turn with “Because of You”, produced by the UK-based duo Chasing Fantasia, composed of Rusti Rossouw and Tristan Carmichael.
Delving into themes of self-discovery and personal empowerment, the song offers a fresh perspective on overcoming inner struggles and embracing one’s true value.
Ross Learmonth explains
“Sometimes people get so caught up in fighting their demons and personal battles, that they get lost and overwhelmed and find it difficult to break through and shed the light. This song is from the perspective of the other side, trying to break through and show someone their true value.”

His upcoming gigs include a series of intimate performances, including the sold-out ‘Who the F**k is Ross Learmonth’ show at Bioscope, followed by a repeat performance at Cafe Roux in Cape Town. Learmonth headlined the Clarens Beer Fest this past March and is set to host the highly anticipated Mother’s Day event at Toadbury Hall, performing alongside Easy Freak.
Looking ahead, this next phase in Ross’ solo journey promises to be an exciting one, with international shows secured in Dubai, London, and the Isle of Man, and potential dates in Australia and New Zealand alongside Arno Carstens and Ard Matthews. “A Home Away from Home” show series aims to bring his authentic sound to audiences around the globe.
With plans for new music releases, concept shows, and a full album in the pipeline, Ross invites audiences to join him on a journey of creative exploration and emotional resonance.
