Ruth's Experience

In addition to being the sole lyric writer and singer for various bands, I have also written and tracked vocals for other projects both in New York and in Norway in a variety of genres including electronic pop, rock, folk, hardcore, hip-hop and rap. I have toured internationally, recorded at BBC Studios in Manchester and London, and played festivals such as Art Basel, Iceland Airwaves, and performed on stages including Terminal 5 and Bowery Ballroom.
