Ross Jennings

A Shadow Of My Future Self Ross Jennings

As lead vocalist and co-songwriter of the hugely successful modern progressive metal band Haken,

guitarist/vocalist Ross Jennings needs no introduction. Ross set out to write, record and selfproduce

his debut solo effort 'A Shadow Of My Future Self' with an ambition to become a new

household name and keep mainstream classic rock alive and well.

Never one to shy away from his influences, Ross has openly disclosed his love for American AOR

and mainstream '90s MTV' arena rock, his passion for modern Indie/pop such as Coldplay, U2 &

R. E. M., and even his affinity with the Nashville Country music scene. Ross's influences and tastes

are vast, coupled with a strong desire to have an outlet to expand his songwriting away from Progmetal

and into these arenas, 'A Shadow Of My Future Self' finds Ross on a musical journey his fans

have not heard him explore professionally before, writing very personal songs in what can only be

described as a love letter to the aforementioned popular genres that were the foundation to Ross's

musical inspiration. This album in question starts on the fringe of a country road, navigates indie

pop, anthemic rock, power ballads and culminates in some epic prog.

The album is a very diverse mix of Alternative Pop, Arena Rock and indie ballads with infectious

melodies that won't leave your brain. A truly bold statement from a prog rock/metal musician with

ambition to take a giant leap into the mainstream, following the footsteps of his heroes such as Phil

Collins, Peter Gabriel, David Gilmour, Chris Cornell & Steven Wilson.
