"Modern vintage sounds that will make you laugh and cry and dance like there’s no tomorrow, Ruby Friedman is an electrifying performer and songwriter"-- KCRW, Gary Calamar  
“You don’t need to know Ruby Friedman’s life story to get a sense of who she is. Just hearing her, and better seeing her perform, tell enough. Her voice and manner are as bold and brash as her flame-red hair. But she’s telling you anyway, with ‘Fugue in L.A. Minor,’ the opening song of her long-in-coming first album, Gem…It’s quite the curtain-raiser, fitting as what follows has some theatrical punch, Vaudevillian in some spots, Brechtian in others. Well, really it’s Vaudeville-y and Brecht-y, not fully either, or any one thing at any time. Bluesy also applies. Jazzy maybe. But brassy, always…another highlight is a last-minute addition to the album, the powerful ‘Ballad of Lee Morse…’ Friedman sings the tale with a kind of force that can only come from someone who sees something, or a lot, of herself in it. It’s part celebratory, part cautionary. And all Ruby Friedman.”

"One hell of a frontwoman with a completely unique and transfixing voice laden with passion... {Gem} is a necessary addition to your music collection." --  POP MATTERS, Sarah Zupko  
"Songs of Quiet Devastation - Gem is full of intense emotion, dark and menacing, full of violent frustration and shattered expectation"  -- MAGNET MAGAZINE, J Poet

Heiress was born on May 3, 1983 in Sydney, Australia. She is a Singer, Songwriter and Record Producer. It all started with her Grandmother on her Mothers side who was an Italian Gospel Singer, everyone praised both her Mother and Grandmother due to them having Powerhouse Voices. Unfortunately both her Mother and Grandmother couldn't be what they wanted to be due to them living in a time where it was either be a Gospel singer or be labeled all kinds of names for being an Entertainer. At a young age Heiress promised her Mother and her Grandmother that she would be a Singer someday. Growing up in the Late 80s Her parents owned a Nightclub in Sydney, which she had the privilege of listening to a lot of Artists such as Tina Turner, Etta James, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, BB King, Nina Simone, Big Mama Thornton, James Brown, Janis Joplin and Michael Jackson, etc which later on became her Inspirations and Idols. Every night there would be an opening act in the Nightclub which she would love to listen to, at 9 pm she would have to leave due to the Club being packed with Adults. She said "One night i sneaked into the Nightclub and the DJ played "Nutbush City Limits" By Tina Turner. I ran into Ladies Bathroom and would hide until my Mother would catch me. Listening to all the Music and seeing all the wonderful people walk in, the aroma of perfumes, the red high heels, Just the whole essence of Music i fell in love with". One evening her cousin drove by her House, she went to his Car to take a listen to all of the interesting songs he was playing, then she fell in love with Michael Jackson. Her parents saw she loved to sing when at the age of 4 she would place all her teddy bears and toys around her room and put on her Mothers high heels and red lipstick with a wooden cooking spoon in her hand and sing to them. She then went on to ask her parents to apply her for a singing competition in Westfield Australia which she won 1st place in by singing Michael Jackson's Thriller and Billy Jean. She was then scouted by Executive Producers at a very well known Australian Talent show to join. Sadly her Grandmother on her Fathers side was very ill and her request was that she see's her family, Heiress had to cancel her audition and go overseas to see her Grandmother. Then for personal family reasons they had to move from Sydney, Australia to the United Kingdom. She grew up in a totally different school and atmosphere, Her Father was a Loving yet also strict English/Italian Father who wanted her to focus on School, Books, and Education. Eventually at 18 she decided to follow her dreams and rebel against her the rules of her Parents. She then went to New York to continue her Musical Career. She then received tragic news that Her mother was ill. She then went back to the United Kingdom to support her Mother. Her musical career went to havoc as her Mother passed away, after a few Years she continued her Musical Career and she became even stronger. She then made a single called "You Were My Best Friend" which was dedicated to her Mother and gained the attraction of the whole A&R department in Sony Music Australia. She was then invited by Executive A&R Tod Deeley, Tod said Quote "Her voice will rival many in the music airways today, She will have Platinums upon Platinums as her voice places people in a trance". Unfortunately she received tragic news that her Father was ill, which forced her to decline the deal with Sony as her heart was in agony. After a few years she has now moved to London to continue her musical career and swore that nothing will come in her way to stop her AGAIN. Her quote is "I want to make this world a better place, I wasn't born to break. There's a song for everyone and always remember never give up.” She is now in touch with a few Major Record Labels in London, United Kingdom regarding her new highly awaited single "Blood Red Sky", SHE WILL BE OUT THERE SOON.
