Andy Ross, currently the guitarist for rock band OK Go, is co-founder of Serious Business Records and was bassist for the Unsacred Hearts and guitarist for Dracula Zombie USA. His solo project, Secret Dakota Ring, has published one album, "Do Not Leave Baggage All The Way". Ross was also the bassist for a brief stint in vaunted early 2000s indie band Cold Memory, and was also the headliner for one of Columbia University's most popular student bands, The A-Ross Experience. Ross was also the captain of his high school robotics team at the Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science.

Ross courted controversy in the late 1980s when he hit local celebrity and skateboarder Mike Leslie in the head with a rock. Tensions were finally eased in the early 2000s when Leslie hit Ross's known friend Jacob Berendes with a rock. Berendes anticipates hitting Ross with a rock sometime around 2010.

Andy was born and raised in Worcester, Massachusetts. He attended West Tatnuck elementary school, Forest Grove Middle School, Doherty High School, and the Massachusetts Academy of Mathematics and Science. He then majored in computer science at Columbia University.

Early bands include Phetr, D-Funky and the Beechmont Chilles featuring B-Smooky and his musical horn of plenty, and Conjugal Visit.

His primary guitar influence is Jimmy Page.

Many people know Andy Ross only by his nickname, Aross. In OKGO, he is also known as Rusty.
