Ruby was a music finalist in the 2019 Good Stuff awards, impressing the frankie team with a gritty, heart-wrenching tune called “Your Mum”. The South African native (who now calls Australia home) plays a bunch of instruments, including classical piano and guitar, and her dark, moody folk sound has been compared to musicians like Regina Spektor, Margaret Glaspy and Joni Mitchell, no less. She’s also a pretty top-notch chick to chat to, as it turns out – have a listen to see for yourself.
