Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. (born Ross Dickran Bagdasarian; May 6, 1949) is an American film producer, record producer, singer, and voice artist and the son of the Alvin and the Chipmunks creator Ross Bagdasarian, Sr.
Bagdasarian was born in Fresno, California, the son of Armen (née Kulhanjian) and Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. He is of Armenian descent. As a child, Bagadasarian Jr. worked with his father on The Alvin Show by helping edit and coordinate the soundtracks and falsetto voice overs of The Chipmunks.
After his father's untimely death in 1972 (Ross Sr. was found dead of a heart attack), Bagdasarian succeeded him as the main owner of the Chipmunks productions, which had fallen into obscurity after significant success between 1958 and the late 1960s. He heads Bagdasarian Productions with his singer-manager wife Janice Karman. They married in 1979.
Ross, Jr., a law school graduate, was surprised to find himself following in Ross Sr.'s footsteps. “I revered my dad, but I didn’t want to do what he had done. That was his creation. Had he remained alive, I never would have done this. But when he passed away suddenly, it was a way of keeping my dad alive, and keeping what he created alive." LESS
