Crossword Genius

Member of group to project sounds (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beatle

'member of group' is the definition.
(member of The Beatles)

'project sounds' is the wordplay.
'project' becomes 'beetle' (beetle can mean to project or overhang).
'sounds' shows a homophone (sound like).
'beetle' sounds like 'BEATLE'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for beatle that I've seen before include "eg Ringo" , "One of the famous four pop musicians, says Paul or John" , "John, Paul or George, say" , "Paul, Ringo, John or George" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
