Total Heat is a chameleon music project led and bred by Ross Wallace Chait in Los Angeles. Taking leads from the musical legacy of Laurel Canyon, where he was raised, he’s always admired the traditional songwriting craft despite an insatiable tendency toward experimental music and improvisation.
Love of music guided him through a slew of bands in the late aughts LA public high school scene, deep experience playing jazz as a pre-teen to the present, countless noise cassette releases, international tours playing drums with Girlpool among others, and, most significantly, a truly unique stylistic sensibility.
Total Heat is a testament to how music can capture the life experience of an individual not only by what it says, but by how it sounds.
