Whatever We Are

Whatever We Are members Gabrielle Ross and Ian Biggs had spent the majority of their careers as solo artists, but the chemistry, when they wrote and recorded together, was undeniable, so they embraced the new direction and uprooted their lives to move into a shared house on Long Island where they could make music in their living room-turned-studio-space full time. As a result, these songs represent not only a clean start artistically, but also a fresh new outlook on life. Whatever We Are's music blurs the boundaries of genre as it melds two distinct voices into a singular whole. Their mission is to carry this theme of breaking boundaries much farther than music, and inspire others to be undeniably true to who they are. With this, they wear white to symbolize unity and a blank canvas as white reflects ALL colors and a fresh slate. Both members contribute equally to their songs, starting from a blank canvas each time, the creative process forever a new formula. The foundation is based on a judgment-free zone, no limitations, just open-mindedness and passion. Fall of 2019 they went on a National 32 city tour opening for Witt Lowry and they are thrilled to be back on stage.
