Russ focuses on the unpredictability of life
TAMPA – Multi-platinum artist and producer Russ is hitting the road for the Into The W!LD Tour.
Produced by Live Nation, the 16-date tour includes a stop at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa. Russ will be joined by special guest, multi-platinum artist Big Sean and supported by GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter Sabrina Claudio for all dates.
The tour comes on the heels of Russ announcing his sixth studio album “W!LD,” set for release this summer, along with sharing the first two singles from the album “Movin” and “April 7.” Get tickets at russworld.com.
The new album focuses on the new perspective Russ has on the unpredictability of life and the tug and pull between resisting challenges and embracing them. “W!LD” is an exploration of his journey into the unknown.
