If anyone can silence a room, it’s South Africa-born, Melbourne-based musician Ruby Gill, whose arresting lyricism and deadpan wit have already garnered millions of streams, awards and radio play from triple j and every major metro station in Australia, to BBC6Music and KCRW over the pond. Known to bring even the most stoic to tears with profound reflections on society and self-awareness, Ruby’s “melancholic lyrical wizardry” has earned the reputation of unmissable, with accolades such as as Sunday Times’ Breaking Act (UK), Emerging Artist of the Year at Port Fairy Folk Festival, nominations for The Australian Music Prize and Best Folk Work at Music Victoria, and high praise from NME, CLASH, The Independent and more. Consistent reviews echo triple j’s Zan Rowe: “excuse me while I scrape myself off the floor.”
