Nostalgic rocky canyon magic brewing in Seattle, WA. Songs written by Mariko Ruhle

Since I was old enough to truly appreciate music I've been dabbling in recording. When I was 12 I would play into a tape deck and re-route the signal to a duel tape karaoke machine. Then I could dub and over dub at least two instruments at a time to make my own mix.

At 16 I had my own PA in the basement, and at 17 built a pair of sub-woofers in a garage with the help of a high school friend. I had always loved sound, live, recording, or performance.

In 2002 I saw an advertisement for a Boss BR-1180 that had a built in CD-burner, saved up my money and spent $1000.00 on the ten track recorder and the very next year they came out with a 12 track for $800.00, isn't that just the truth with technology?

What started in the suburbs of Atlanta GA, then moved to St. Petersburg Florida, Now in Seattle Washington. And I certainly got my use out of that 10 track recorder. I composed music for two plays, and recorded four albums & over a dozen demos for local songwriters.

In 2009 I upgraded to a Pro Tools rig. Since then I have been offering my ear and attention to detail to singer songwriters, bands, and theater related projects.

Currently recording dedication songs upon request. Available to hire and for virtual harmonizing vocals! Before the pandemic I regularly hit Seattle’s stages with The Cumbieros (a ten piece Cumbia band) and a cover band that did 70’s-2000’s called The Factory. I majored in jazz vocal performance and still love to sing that style too.
