Based in: Canada
Hire: Ruth B.
Ruth B., born Ruth Berhe on July 2, 1995, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, rose to prominence through her soulful music and introspective lyrics, which often touch on themes of love, self-discovery, and resilience. Her musical journey began in a unique way—she initially garnered attention on Vine, where she posted short singing clips in 2013. One of these clips featured her singing an original lyric inspired by the TV series Once Upon a Time, which eventually blossomed into her breakout single, “Lost Boy.” The song resonated widely, leading her to sign with Columbia Records and release her debut EP, The Intro, in 2015.
Following the success of “Lost Boy,” Ruth B. continued to captivate audiences with her delicate voice and haunting melodies. In 2017, she released her debut studio album, Safe Haven, featuring tracks like “Superficial Love” and “Dandelions.” The album was well-received and solidified her place in the industry as an artist to watch. Her sound, often compared to artists like Lorde and Alessia Cara, combines piano-driven ballads with minimalist production, emphasizing her lyrical storytelling and vocal expression.

Ruth B.’s Ethiopian heritage has also influenced her music and identity, and she is open about the importance of staying true to her roots. She has shared how her parents, who immigrated to Canada, fostered a deep appreciation for her culture and a strong work ethic. Beyond her debut album, she has remained active in the music scene, releasing singles and collaborating with other artists, while keeping a relatively low public profile compared to other pop stars. Her songwriting continues to explore themes of vulnerability, self-acceptance, and social issues, with newer works like Moments in Between (2021) reflecting a more mature perspective.
Her impact on the music industry is marked not only by her soulful sound but by her ability to forge a unique path as a young artist navigating personal identity and creative freedom.
With more than 4 billion cumulative streams (including 1.4 billion on “Dandelions”), Rolling Stone proclaiming that “She’s THE one to watch,” and millions of followers, views and likes across all social platforms, Ruth B. is one of the most listened to artists worldwide. She collaborated with viral music star Dean Lewis and released the hauntingly beautiful song “28”. The song and lyric video are available.
After her debut song “Lost Boy,” which was an instant viral global chart-topping hit in 2015 that propelled her debut EP The Intro into a gold-certification, she released two more critically acclaimed full projects earning her three Juno nominations, including Album of the Year and Artist of the Year.
