Danny Ross

Danny Ross is the founder of Anti Social Camp, the world's largest songwriting festival where the industry comes to creatives and not the other way around. Described as a SXSW for songwriting, Anti Social Camp has been featured in Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, Billboard and Variety.

Anti Social Camp brings together hundreds of artists, songwriters, and producers for a free week of recording sessions, showcases, industry programming, and community events. Alumni include Busta Rhymes, PinkPantheress, Nile Rodgers, and Jacob Collier with partners including TikTok, TIDAL, The Recording Academy, Spotify, YouTube, and the City of New York. After establishing itself as a major annual gathering for New York’s creative community, Anti Social Camp expanded internationally to London.

Ross is also the founder of the Anti Social Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to expanding access, education, and opportunity for emerging music creators. The foundation develops educational programming, artist development initiatives, and partnerships designed to help the next generation of songwriters and producers build sustainable creative careers.

Danny Ross began as an indie frontman turned pop producer, creating hit singles for TikTok star Simone (New Music Friday), #1 Billboard artist Wakey! Wakey!, and major label artists Walk The Moon, Lyn Lapid, Justus Bennetts, Claud, and Dreamers. Ross scored the Hulu series Everyone Is Doing Great and is one half of indie project Cheap Synths, featured in an Apple campaign and signed to Rough Trade.

Ross is an assistant professor at Berklee NYC, Berklee’s graduate program housed at the famed Power Station studio, where he works with students on pop production, composition, and performance. It’s a natural extension of his own education at Cornell University, where he created the major of Popular Music Composition and Performance, receiving summa cum laude honors. Ross also writes a music column for Forbes that has reached more than a million readers.
