LA-based indie pop rocker Maddie Ross was once described by The 405 as an &#8220;Alt-Pop Dream Queen.&#8221; Ross writes guitar-driven anthems about her producer, co-writer, and longtime girlfriend Wolfy. In September of 2018, songwriting legend KT Tunstall came across Ross&rsquo;s music during a Twitter exchange, and immediately reached out via direct message to invite Ross to open on a 22-city North American tour. Ross agreed, and quickly released her sophomore EP, Touch Hands, Touch Bodies in anticipation of the tour. Tunstall fans fell in love with Ross&rsquo;s high energy performances, &ldquo;abundant cussing,&rdquo; and candid love songs about being lesbian and proud. In May of 2019, Ross released her debut album Never Have I Ever, produced and co-written by Wolfy. The album was named Billboard Staff&#8217;s &#8220;Top 50 Albums of 2019 So Far,&#8221; and has gained praise from Teen Vogue, MTV, Billboard and NPR Music. Ross toured in support of Never Have I Ever by again opening for Tunstall.
