Over the years, Ruth's passion for music led to her appearance in a variety of events—from the church stage to national and international concerts. "Church was where it all started," she says. "That's where I realized that I had a gift...something that could touch people."

When her family moved to Dominica, Ruth studied theory, voice and flute at the Kairi School of Music. It was there that she was first exposed to musical productions. "Our flute teacher, Pearl Christian, was also the choir director. And she would do these phenomenal musicals every year. That’s where I really started to learn singing as a craft."

Her mastery of that craft led to her being invited to perform at Guyana’s inaugural music awards last year. Her performance, lauded by many as the best of the evening, received rave reviews from the critics.

Ruth currently resides in Trinidad. There, she has made full use of any opportunities to network and develop her music career, from performing with the jazz trio, Jacoustik, to working with a variety of musicians and bands. She recently performed at "Mama Dis Is Jazz", "Gayap Jazz" and at "R3" with Russell Leonce and Rizon, for which she garnered accolades for her work on vocals and flute.

A writer by profession, Ruth also writes poetry. Her poems often become an intrinsic part of her performances, adding another dimension to her music. When asked what inspires her as an artist, she said, "It's about expressing what it is to be human. I want to remind people of the fragility and beauty that is part of the human condition. I also want to show them who they could be."
