Kourtney Lara Ross is an American electronic musician, composer, sound designer, and music curator based in Berlin, Germany. She attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, and earned a Bachelor of Music in Contemporary Writing and Production. Her sound combines electronic instrumentation with elements of musically integrated sound design, creating different moods and atmospheres. Through an intuitive and experimental selection of sounds, she carves and dives into emotional and immaterial landscapes. 

She has produced diverse works for clients and has been part of numerous international events. In 2021, she and John Tettenborn, an animator also based in Berlin, won first prize at the Genius Loci Weimar festival with their work projected on the Bastille. Since then, they have frequently worked as a duo and won awards in many countries, such as Germany, Japan, and China. She most recently collaborated with John on artworks projected on the “Shining Hat” expo hall in Osaka, Japan and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, which is part of a Guinness World Record as the largest architectural projection mapping display (permanent). They were also awarded silver at the Shining Shanghai Mapping Festival in Shanghai, China, as well as the Chongqing International Light Art Festival in Chongqing, China.

Kourtney is now working on her debut EP titled Beyond The Oort Cloud to be released this August.
