After studying Journalism and Communication Sciences in Vienna, Voß began his career in the music business in 2009 as A&R Assistant at Sony Music Germany / Columbia Records. After his A&R debut at Hamburg-based Music Publisher AMV Talpa, he then moved to EMI Music Publishing as A&R Manager in 2011.

Within Sony Music Germany he proved his abilities as A&R Manager for the labels Epic and Columbia and later also as Senior A&R Manager for the divisions Century Media, the International Department and Columbia Records.

In April 2021, Voß founded the Rock/Metal/Alternative Label / Label Service Agency “CIRCULAR WAVE” together with Mathias Blühdorn (ex-Senior Director Marketing International Columbia Records). Voß is also co-founder of the artist community and service platform for the music industry “Musicstep”.
