New Single 'Storm' out now! ⛈️ https://symphony.to/ruth-b/storm
Ruth B writes songs that feel like safe places. From the 2× Platinum breakout “Lost Boy” to the 3× Platinum global anthem “Dandelions,” the Ethiopian-Canadian singer, songwriter, and pianist has built a world rooted in emotion, storytelling, and quiet power. Her voice — calm yet commanding — has become a home for anyone who feels deeply, a soundtrack for truth, solitude, and healing.

Born and raised in Edmonton, Canada to Ethiopian parents, Ruth began writing songs as a teenager — turning her piano into a journal and her phone into her first stage. What started as a viral moment grew into a global connection built not on spectacle, but sincerity.

With more than 8.6 billion streams and a global audience of 7.7 million+, Ruth has earned multi-platinum certifications across 15+ countries and a Juno Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year. Her sound blends pop, soul, and cinematic minimalism — deeply lyrical yet instantly relatable.

Ruth continues to evolve while staying true to what has always defined her: emotional depth, musical excellence, and a quiet, undeniable power. Her songs remind us that softness can be strength, and honesty will always find its way through the noise.

With songwriting credits, TV placements, millions of streams from a strong catalogue of 6 EP’S and a full length record, Patrick now sets his ambitions on delivering work that is free from the normal scaffolding. He simply states “being an independent artist in 2021 is both challenging and liberating. I now really love the idea of my listeners having a real time release experience that parallels my own output as a songwriter. To share as I create, and not be bound by any formal structure”. 

With this setting out his approach right now as an artist, Patrick James is back with a new single ‘Grateful’, a song written in the middle of COVID, relating to the feeling of appreciation and admiration towards people around us all that lift us up, make us feel something true and give us a positive spirit. 

Having toured Australia extensively as a headline act and also supported the likes of Boy & Bear, The Paper Kites, Josh Pyke, Emma Louise and Pete Murray, Patrick has been very active on the live seen for many years. His travels to the UK and Europe have seen him performing alongside the likes of Bears Den at London’s Brixton Academy and Albert Hall in Manchester to name a few. Using these opportunities to grow a global audience, Patrick will be taking the stage when the time presents itself in the near future and bringing with him a collection of new songs and a repertoire built from the years of honing his craft.

Woodlock comprises of three members; Kiwi brothers Zech and Eze Walters on guitar/vocals and their mate Bowen Purcell providing the percussion. 
Zech, Eze and Bowen formed a strong friendship after meeting whilst travelling overseas, from there, Woodlock was born.
They relocated to Australia and after a short stint of writing and playing the trio bought a caravan, fixed it up, somehow got it registered and took off on an adventure up and down the east coast taking their music with them to the streets of both rural and capital cities.
After captivating crowds in the streets they found themselves in a recording studio and before they knew it they had an EP in their hands, titled ‘Lemons’.
Woodlock have worked hard to perfect the sounds crafted in the studio to a live setting. Focusing on strong, energetic and creative live shows to take their performance to the next level. 
Now based in Melbourne, the boys have gained some great recognition and created a strong following from tirelessly busking at every corner of the Melbourne CBD.
Woodlock released their second EP titled ‘Labour of Love’ in 2014, produced by Wayne Connolly (Josh Pyke, The Vines). ‘Labour of Love’ made it into the top 100 in the ARIA charts as well as charting on iTunes. They’ve also sold around 25,000 EP’s independently. To celebrate, they took off on a huge tour across the country selling out three Shebeen shows in Melbourne and selling out rooms all the way up the east coast including Black Bear Lodge in Brisbane. 
The boys have just finished recording ‘Sirens’ with Andy Mak at The Grove Studio’s in NSW, and also have a huge tour to boot. 2015/16 is setting up to be the year of Woodlock!
