Trophy Wife (Ruby Smyth) is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Ireland.

Aiming to harness the energy of the vibrant indie scene in Dublin at the moment, TW hopes to rise to the top of her game and harness the power of her demographic with an elevated sound chronicling her experiences of life as a queer woman in her 20's. No stranger to the live scene of Dublin's top indie venues such as The Grand Social, Workman's, Whelan's and Soundhouse, TW has played many headline gigs and has been included in line ups for "We've Only Just Begun" festival, "Singular artists" and most recently "One's to Watch" In Whelan's. She's also the recipient of TILT's collaborative recording opportunity (With John Barker). Blending the jangle and drive of Snail Mail, the softness and whimsy of Clairo with the grit and edge of Irish favourites NewDad and Inhaler, TW manages to harbour a sound that is decidedly Indie yet definitively unique.

Trophy Wife’s debut EP Art was well received with radio play from RTE one’s John Creedon, Lilian Smith and Fiachna O’ Braoinan alongside 98fm, KCLR, Cork FM and more. Irish media giants such as Hotpress, Nialler9, Goldenplec, the thin air and Trinity News also covered the release alongside online and indie publications.

Between April and August 2023, TW has 3 planned single releases culminating in her sophomore EP out early October.
