About Ross
Ross McGuire is a Glasgow singer-songwriter, acoustic performer and longtime busker whose music blends emotionally direct storytelling with contemporary country and folk-pop influences.
He developed his live career busking and playing venues across Scotland and beyond — supporting Brad Heidi in Galway, playing two headline shows in Germany, and contributing vocals to house and progressive-house releases along the way. In 2026 he reached a national audience on The Voice UK, earning a chair turn from Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones with his Blind Audition performance of James Bay’s “One Life” and a place on Team McFly.

Featured on Che Jose’s progressive-house track “Lost in Time” (Pillar). A Glasgow venue biography reported support slots in Galway, two headline shows in Germany, a Beatport Top 30 placing for house music, and more than 25,000 supporters across social platforms.
Credited as drinks-reception musician for a Glasgow wedding celebration at 200 SVS.
Blind Auditions, episode 2 (broadcast 29 August 2026). Singing “One Life” by James Bay, Ross earned a chair turn from Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones and joined Team McFly.
The Beatport Top 30 claim is attributed to a 2023 venue biography (Room 2, Glasgow).
The Voice UK 2026
In the 2026 Blind Auditions, Ross performed James Bay’s “One Life” — a rich, textured vocal that had Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones hitting their buttons and welcoming him to Team McFly. He arrived with his older brother Kieran, and the brothers auditioned separately rather than as a duo.
