Demetrius "Sir Jam" Ross (1989-) is a musical engineer and mixer, as well as a recording artist. Ross was born into musical royalty and knighted “Sir Jam” by the NPG and welcomed into the palace of Prince. It was in Minneapolis where he served as a lyrical guardian in the Paisley kingdom. Levi Seacer, guitarist and producer, was quick to notice that “Sir Jam” was more than a rap vocalist, more like a hip hop Gladiator who believed that the power of the pen could change the world.
