info_outlineSomewhere in the suburbs of Long Island, NY comes a young entrepreneur by the name of Ross Thomas aka Rouges P. Since the mid 1990’s, after a stint in the US Army and crawling his way through the streets, Rogues began his climb in the music industry. He started out writing poetry at a very young age, entering and winning writing contests across Long Island. Around 1997, he entered a few talent shows and was often told how good he was. Rogues states “Everyone that knew me told me that I was good and with a little more practice I could make a name for myself.” He decided then to take all the advice and constructive criticism he could and keep it in mind and grow as an artist.
Since then, he has performed nationally and overseas. In addition, he has opened up for names such as Black Rob, Rah Digga, Fred Da Godson, Mr. Cheeks of the Lost Boyz as a special guest on the Shut Em Down Tour along with countless others, and also performed at TGI Friday's in Westbury, NY and the legendary BB King's Blues Club in NYC. In addition, he headlined a Cancer Benefit in March of 2018 in Spanaway, Washington and organized the Dementia Awareness Benefit Event on Long Island, NY in October 0f 2018. Rogues recently released his new single “Your Desire” ft. Scotty Mac on all major digital music platforms. In 2019, Rogues will be headlining his own tour, "The DRR American Royalty Tour in Australia" w/ special guest OddBall and members of his team, Dark Reign Royalty. With the growth he’s shown as an artist and businessman, Rogues’ catch phrase “They Know Me” is most definitely appropriate. Be on the lookout for this growing artist and businessman in the music industry as he and his team are sure to take the world by storm.
