Russ’s music has been described by Skope Magazine as featuring “catchy lyrics, fresh and collaborated instrumental arrangements, finely cooked music”, with Sharp Turn Records praising the artist for creating a sound of his own by combining a variety of influences.

Russ himself talks about the difficulty of attaching a single label to his music: “My music is a mishmash of all the songs I’ve ever heard, but leaning to Rock and Southern Rock. I call it Southern, Country Rock, but it’s hard to label. It will sound like whatever you think it is. My lyrics are about my life experiences, things that I see and things that I think are important. I try to write the truth as I see it. I hope you’ll take a listen. If you like it, I hope you’ll join me on this ride.”
