For multi-award winning   singer/songwriter,    Ruth-Ann Brown  (Ruth), making   Reggae  music was  hardly  a  choice;   it was  something  she could  not run from. Their union  has been as fluent as the successshe has experienced to-date. Since the release of her five-song EPentitled RUTH, Ruth-Ann Brown  has received  two  awards,   been featured  on Fox Network,   interviewed by several  radio  stations across the world and featured  in and on the cover of several print media.  Ruth has per­ formed   in  and   around   Washington   DC,  sharing   the  stage  with Reggae icons such as Freddie McGregor,   Beres Hammond, I-Wayne and  Ky-Mani  Marley,   just to  name  a  few.  Her  performance at The Mansion   at  Strathmore in Maryland   was  historic.  She was  the first Reggae artiste to be invited  to the prestigious venue.  Ruth-Ann Brown has also  sung the American   National   Anthem  at a  basketball  game in Virginia   -  an experience she describes  as "an  honor".

Ruthwas  born in the mid 80's  in Jamaica,  where  she was surrounded by  the  influences  of  dancehall   veterans  such as  King  Yellowman, Josie Wales  and Jacob  Miller.   "Instead  of going  to sleep, as soon as my mother put me to bed as a young  child,  I would  listen to the sound system  playing   across  the  street from  my  house  until  I fell  asleep. Reggae was  like a drug.  I couldn't  get enough,"   Ruth recalls.

As an adolescent, she enjoyed  singing  in the church choir and writing poems  to express  her  pent-up  emotions.  By the time  she became  a young  adult,  she began  experimenting  with  writing   songs  to instru­ mentals.  In late 2005   Ruth-Ann Brown's   first song,  'As  It Is', was  re­ leased on the Di-Mon  Cut label.  This marked  her entry  into the music business.  From then,  she has honed  her art.  In relation  to her craft, Ruth states, "I can't  imagine   music without  emotions.  When   I make music, I want  people  to feel it as much as I do,  so I try to connect with my emotions  and  release them into my work.  When   I touch  the lives of  others,  only  then  will   I be  successful as  an  artiste."   Renowned music critic  and  writer,   Stan Smith, describes  Ruth's music as being, full  of  "thought-provoking  lyrics,  which   are  emotionally  enraptured and   sometimes easy  going    [and   they]   make   her  songs  easy  to digest".  Her music has also been described  as soul-touching, passion­ ate, intense, yet smooth,  relaxing,   tropical  and warm.

Roxroy  Mclean,    says  of  Ruth-Ann  Brown  in  the Jamaican   Sunday Gleaner,   "What's   intriguing   is that she approaches each  topic  with the same passion  and zeal,  which  makes her stand out ... "
