Ross was born in Littleton, Colorado, the fourth of five kids to Mark and Stormie Lynch.
He and his family moved to California in 2007 to allow his brother Riker to pursue a career as an entertainer. After the move, his brother Rocky taught himself how to play the guitar, and taught Ross how to play and Riker to play basso while their sister Rydel began to play the piano. They soon made the band R5 with a friend they met at a dance studio, Ellington Ratliff, who plays the drums. They say Ellington is like family to them. Their band's website is R5rocks.com.

He and his siblings are the cousins...
