Ruby Rodgers
Ruby Rodgers is ready to take the world by storm, and she’s still only 15 years old.
When you’re from a big musical family and spend your life surrounded by musicians, it’s so entrenched in your DNA that making music is almost as important as breathing.
Ruby has graced many a stage in Australia and overseas including Carols in the Domain, the Red Hot Summer Tour (singing Flame Trees for her grandfather), Music in Paradise in the Maldives, at Michael Gudinski’s Memorial at Rod Laver Arena (joining Ed Sheeran and Kylie Minogue on stage for the encore), the State of
Music Mother’s Day special (singing Little Light, a song for her written by her parents Mahalia Barnes and Benjamin Rodgers) as well as many “at home” performances with her grandparents,
Jimmy and Jane Barnes and friends, including Hallelujah and Let it Be.
She has also featured as backing vocalist on A Little Joy on Australian soul singer, Jade Macrae’s In My Veins album as well as Jimmy Barnes’ If Santa Forgets (Blue Christmas) and When Your Love is Gone (30:30 Hindsight).
Ruby was recently invited to be one of only eight school children from around the globe to take part in Damon Gameau’s documentary film, Future Council.
Hits The Heart
My first single ‘Hits The Heart’ will finally be coming out this December. I wrote this song a little over a year ago after I got back from the filming of ‘Future Council’. I wrote it about some of the kids that are in @future__council with me, because I was so inspired by their passion and willingness to sacrifice for what they think is right. I hope that this song means as much to you as it does to me!
