A veteran in the industry, Russ has garnered a whopping 22 billion career streams and over 25 million singles sold to date. His albums There's Really A Wolf, SHAKE THE SNOW GLOBE, and Zoo released via his partnership with Columbia Records all hit the Billboard 200 chart and received critical acclaim, with There's Really A Wolf going certified 2x platinum with standout singles "What They Want" and "Losin Control," and spending 84 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. In 2019, Russ released his best-selling IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD, an inspirational book reminding us that your success starts with you and the belief in yourself. That same year, Forbes named Russ one of their "30 Under 30." In 2022, a champion for independent artists, Russ launched his indie label DIEMON (an acronym for "Do It Everyday Music Or Nothing") with partner and longtime collaborator Bugus Thompson. With DIEMON, Russ launched artist Ktlyn after her remix of his platinum single "Handsomer" went viral. He's performed on some of the world's largest stages and wowed audiences - including performing "Patience" on Jimmy Kimmel Live! His most recent album, SANTIAGO, debuted at #12 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and explores Russ' journey of self-approval, finding his self-worth, self-love, and moving on from seeking validation from others. On this album, Russ opens up about his struggles with mental health following the trials and tribulations of the music industry, and now his newfound freedom as an independent artist. Russ also debuted his short film SANTIAGO, a visual to the album, in 88 theaters worldwide.
