"Ruut's music consistently inspires me to seize the day."
- Writer/Director, The Futurist movie
"Ruut is one of those unique artists that seem to transcend genre, format or categorization. Simply put, she writes great songs, and has a great voice. There is going to be a large audience for her music very soon. " - Tom Callahan, President/CEO, Tom Callahan & Associates
"I love it when an artist searches until they find their own, unique, unmistakable voice. Through years of searching, discovering, hitting and missing, Ruut has found her voice, her zone, her "thing"... and it's beautiful. "Sweet October" is the music that flows from an artist who's music has finally come home.
Ruut is a remarkable person. During the time I’ve known her, she has shown tremendous dedication to her craft and a unique desire to serve people with her gifts. In my experience, I would place her in a category of being one of the more extraordinary people I’ve worked with, both creatively, and as a human being."
- VP, A&R, Centricity Records

Bio
RUUT
Baltimore's own golden-voiced singer/songwriter, Ruut, does her family's rich musical heritage proud, (she's the granddaughter of a world-famous Finnish composer), while she is forging her own path with her latest indie-pop full-length release, Glimpse. The piano-driven album showcases Ruut's eloquent songwriting ability and powerful vocals. Live audiences have likened Ruut to Norah Jones and Carole King with her timeless songstress style, but she doesn't wear her predecessors on her sleeve. A recent review in The New World Finn describes Ruut as "having created her own identifiable musical presence" and "a deeply gifted songwriter".
Ruut's new album "Glimpse" is available on iTunes, Amazon and CDBaby.
