User:Ruth Royall

Ruth Royall (born 1990) is an English jazz singer, songwriter and musician. Originally from Stroud (Gloucestershire) she moved to Bristol at age 16 to follow a career in music. Ruth's interest in music became apparent at a young age and she explored different sounds and styles. Ruth became fascinated with old records and began to draw inspiration from such artists as Bille Holiday, Johnny Cash, Nina Simone, The Beatles, Chuck Berry and more.

In 2010 Royall was sounded out by record label Silver Buddha and began on her own material working along side producer Rich Aitken. Ruth's writing took over for the next year or so as she concentrated on developing her sound and material, the result was a four track E.P “Barracuda” and her first single "Mountians".

Ruth Royall's audiences are those who want a cozy recovery from the rough everyday assault of todays "say nothing" music. Elegant jazz tinged structures give little away in terms of musical showing off - it's all elegant and pretty and worth letting into your auto tune weary ears and hearts!

Ruth toured Germany in 2011 with Songs and Whispers. “Barracuda” was taken on tour with them and received great reviews and reaction from the German public.
