Musician, Composer, Curator

 
 

Kourtney Lara Ross is an accomplished American musician, composer, 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 with violin as her principal instrument.

Her sound is an interweaving of electronic instrumentation and musically integrated sound design, creating different moods and auditory worlds. Genre-bending and evocative, her work is often tailored for multimedia, immersive, and live visual experiences. These experiences intersect music, technology, and visual storytelling. She has produced a diverse range of works for clients and achieved global recognition through collaborative international projects and multimedia installations.

As a violinist, she has over 20 years of experience. She has placed highly in regional competitions since childhood and has played with different orchestras, chamber groups, and ensembles throughout her life. During her studies at Berklee, she frequently worked on projects as a session violinist. Currently, she often plays with a local symphony orchestra in Berlin.

Her past music curation includes work for Berlin Fashion Week, clubs, and private events since 2015. Since 2021, she has worked as a duo with Berlin-based animator John Tettenborn. Most recently, they collaborated on artworks projected onto the “Shining Hat” expo hall in Osaka, Japan, in 2025. They also created projections for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku, Tokyo, in 2024, which Guinness World Records recognized as the largest permanent architectural projection-mapping display.

Kourtney is now working on her debut EP.
