Artist Bio

Ruth B., the Ethiopian-Canadian singer-songwriter, carved her own path to pop prominence, transforming snippets of melodies from Vine into full-fledged, emotionally resonant songs. Her journey is a testament to the power of online platforms in nurturing raw talent and connecting artists directly with their audience. Before gracing stages and topping charts, Ruth Berhe, the artist behind Ruth B., was a student sharing her musical ideas on the now-defunct social media app, Vine. It was there, amidst the six-second loops, that she began crafting what would become her signature style: piano-driven melodies paired with heartfelt, introspective lyrics. Her breakthrough came with a Vine that featured a short piano riff inspired by the television show 'Once Upon a Time.' The overwhelmingly positive response prompted her to develop the snippet into a complete song, and thus, "Lost Boy" was born. Though not on this list, that song propelled her into the spotlight, showcasing her ability to weave captivating narratives with a delicate yet powerful voice. Since then, Ruth B. has continued to evolve as an artist, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery in her music. Her ability to connect with listeners on a deeply personal level is evident in tracks like Moments in Between, where she bares her soul with raw vulnerability. She has a knack for creating songs that feel both intimate and universally relatable. The emotional honesty in her music is what draws so many people to her sound. Ruth B.'s artistry isn't confined to just studio recordings. She often shares stripped-down, intimate performances, showcasing her impressive vocal control and piano skills. An example of this can be found in Dandelions NY Rooftop Session Live. She isn't afraid to experiment with different sounds and styles, as evidenced by Situation (smle Remix), which takes one of her songs into a more electronic direction. Her willingness to push boundaries keeps her sound fresh and exciting. While best known for her more melancholic ballads, Ruth B. also has upbeat tracks in her discography. Songs like Dirty Nikes showcase her versatility and ability to explore different sonic landscapes. Her holiday offerings, such as Holiday, reveal another side to her artistry, spreading warmth and cheer with her signature heartfelt delivery. Also, be sure to checkout Favourite. From her humble beginnings on Vine to becoming a recognized name in pop music, Ruth B. continues to captivate audiences with her authentic voice and emotionally charged songwriting.
