Foss was one of Coal Chamber’s founding members, playing on the band’s 1997 self-titled debut, 1999’s Chamber Music, and 2004’s Dark Days. She married Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose, with whom she has one daughter, Kayla Moray Rose.
“I danced my whole life and I was a dance teacher before,” said Foss in a rare interview.I never planned on being a bass player in a band. I was at a party and I was sitting there kind of bored and I saw this thing in a closet, and it looked like a guitar, and I was like ‘Is that a guitar?’ and [my friend] said ‘It’s a bass guitar…you can check it out.’ And was just like messing around, I didn’t know what I was doing. He was like ‘I don’t ever play it, you can have it.’ And this was like six months before I joined the band. So I took it home and played around with it. I worked with Dez’s ex-wife and when they were looking for a new bass player, she told Dez ‘I have a friend at work who plays the bass,’ and I really didn’t. So he called up…said to come down and audition. So I said ‘fuck it’ and did it, and I got it. Eight days later I played my first show.”
