Ross was featured on Season 12 of American Idol where she left early due to laryngitis. She went back home to her blueberry farm in New Jersey and got a call from a local radio station DJ. She learned that Colt Ford saw her on American Idol and wanted to meet her.

Now she is signed to Ford’s Average Joes label.
