Ruth Royes is a singer songwriter born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. She realised her interest
in music from an early age when she endeavoured to learn to play the violin at age 9 under
the guidance of Ms. Moyah Gibson. At age 17, after being encouraged to sing by her sister, she
joined the Youth Music Ministry at her church (Swallowfield Chapel) and after a couple months
of singing she decided that this was the path she wanted her life to take. More importantly, she
felt it was what God wanted her to do.

Ruth is a graduate of Humber College in Toronto, Canada where she completed a
certificate program in commercial jazz music and a degree in contemporary music performance.
She has been influenced by many different genres, her culture and her beliefs, and as a result
her music is a fusion of jazz, reggae and gospel. She has been referred to as a "sweet singer"
(The Jamaica Observer) who has "some snap and crackle" (The Jamaica Gleaner). Her sound has
been likened to that of Norah Jones (Jamaica Gleaner) and Colbie Caillat.

Ruth recorded an EP at Humber Recording Studios which was digitally released on May 31st, 2011. Since then she has performed at the 2012 Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival on the same night as artistes such as Celine Dion, Nicole Henry, Gentleman, Richie Stephens, Tessanne Chin & Tammy Chin to name a few. She continues to perform at live music events around the island and hopes to record a full album in the near future.

We meet at the Shortwood Teacher's College Main Auditorium (77 Shortwood Rd) each Sunday at 10AM.

Sevana is Jamaica’s quintessential triple threat talent, with singer, actress and model credits all to her name.

This Jamaican born and raised singer/songwriter is a product of Mona Prep Choir, Campion College Choir, and the University Singers, all of Kingston, Jamaica.  Mario Evon is another bright upcoming Jamaican artiste adding his flavour to the music industry. Unassuming, but energetic, he produces a mix of many genres including R&B, jazz, reggae, dancehall, and combines them to form a unique style. Singing from about the age of seven (7), Mario has also done his fair share of performing in Jamaican theatre, scoring the understudy for ‘Timon’ in “The Lion King”, and the lead for ‘Daniel’ in “Once on This Island”. Prior to being accepted to Berklee College of Music, Mario had good experience singing backup vocals for many established, as well as upcoming artistes, including Benjy Myaz, Camar (pka Flava Unit), the Rocky 5 band, Alaine and Cezar.  Also prior to attending Berklee, Mario put working as a Medical Doctor on hold to pursue this dream of being a recording artiste.

Now at Berklee College of Music he is pursuing a Bachelor of Music Degree, double-majoring in Songwriting and Music Business/Management.  But it doesn’t stop there.  Since being at Berklee Mario has been intensely involved in the community, singing with Bostonian reggae band ‘Hot Like Fire’, and singing background vocals for Berklee’s Singers Showcase and other student bands.  Mario recently was selected to do lead vocals in Berklee’s Singers Night, and also just became a DJ on the Berklee Internet Radio Network (BIRN), with his new Caribbean culture show called ‘Caribbean Connection’.  Mario has all hopes of becoming one of the future 'movers and shakers' in the Jamaican, as well as the international music scene.
