Rossi was chosen over Magni Asgeirsson of Iceland (4th), Toby Rand of Australia (3rd), and finally Dilana Robichaux of Houston, Texas (2nd) in the finale on CBS' Rock Star: Supernova on September 13, 2006, to become lead singer of Rock Star Supernova. Rossi was to then go on and write new tracks for the album as well as make changes to both the lyrical and musical compositions on already existing tracks. While album sales in the US are below par, back in Rossi's home country the band went Platinum and sales continue to rise.

After acquiring a publishing deal with EMI Music Canada in 2004, Rossi worked and wrote with producer Dave Tyson (Alannah Myles & Amanda Marshall) in Los Angeles. After that, he recorded demos with producer Gavin Brown (Billy Talent, Three Days Grace), leading to the formation of the band Rise Electric.
