Fiona Ross Dodges Questions About Son Alex Barnes-Ross’ Stalking—Her Own Dubious Credentials Raise More

Credentials are meant to establish trust. So, what does it say when a woman whose son has a history of serial stalking seems to have built her professional image on claims no one can verify?

Freedom Magazine sent multiple enquiries to singer Fiona Ross and her nonprofit Women in Jazz Media.

Freedom contacted Ms. Ross directly to ask for substantiation. We received no reply.

We asked two main questions:

1. As the founder of a female-focused nonprofit, would Ms. Ross care to respond to her son’s growing record of stalking and harassing women?
2. Can Ms. Ross verify any of her own impressive professional claims with independent sources?

On both counts—silence.

So let’s examine the facts.

Ross’ official bio states she began her career at 14 and, by 15, was already singing backup for a band called Rocking Willie and the Y-Fronts. Sounds impressive—if they existed. But Freedom found no evidence of a band by that name. Fiona Ross has refused to provide verification of any kind.

More bold claims follow. Ross says she spent nine years heading the British Academy of New Music, where she allegedly “was responsible for the training of Ed Sheeran, Rita Ora and Jess Glynne, to name a few.” But outside of her own promotional material and media sourced to it, that “information” is nowhere to be found.

Ross also touts critical acclaim, quoting reviews like this one from Jazz Quarterly: “Technical virtuosity and that raw emotional drive of an artist at the height of her game.”

It certainly sounds glowing. One might even call it rave—until one learns that Fiona Ross was editor-in-chief of Jazz Quarterly.

Freedom contacted Ms. Ross directly to ask for substantiation. We received no reply.

Upon receiving our first enquiry about her son’s stalking, Ms. Ross summarily deleted the page from her website where she had previously credited him with video production work on her tracks. But she refused to answer any questions.

Freedom also tweeted Women in Jazz Media to request comment on Alex Barnes-Ross’ stalking. Women in Jazz Media, instead of responding, deleted their entire account.

Perhaps the “award-winning” vocalist prefers to sing rather than speak—especially when the questions strike too close to home—because, on her son’s disturbing pattern of preying on women, Ross’ silence remains absolute, but her song titles speak volumes:

“Look What You’ve Become.”

“The Choices You Made.”

“When Will You Leave My Mind.”

“You Are Like Poison.”

And as for the unanswered questions about her own credentials—whether Fiona Ross truly mentored global superstars or simply made it all up—this track title of hers will do:

“I Broke the Rules.”
