Canadian Singer-Songwriter & Pop-R&B Sensation; Multi-Platinum Artist; Juno Award Winner
Ruth B. Biography
Ruth B., born Ruth Berhe, is a Canadian singer-songwriter known for her emotionally resonant music and significant presence in the pop and alternative R&B genres. Influenced by artists such as Stevie Wonder and Lauryn Hill, Berhe began writing songs in her late teens after learning piano at age eight and singing throughout her childhood. She first gained attention on Vine, where her short musical clips attracted a large online following.
Inspired by an episode of the TV drama "Once Upon a Time," Berhe composed and shared two lines from what would become her first original song. The Peter Pan-inspired piano ballad, "Lost Boy," quickly went viral on Vine, drawing listeners to her narrative-driven songwriting.
Berhe paused her academic pursuits to sign with Columbia Records and released her debut EP, "The Intro." Her debut single, "Lost Boy," achieved 3x platinum certification in Canada and 2x platinum in the United States. The single reached the Top 10 on the iTunes singles chart and entered the Top 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. She followed this success with her debut album, "Safe Haven," which earned Juno Award nominations, including Album of the Year. Berhe received nominations for the Juno Fan Choice Award and Songwriter of the Year, and won Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the Juno Awards.
Her song "Dandelions" from "Safe Haven" gained international popularity after trending on TikTok, charting in countries such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil, and Germany, and accumulating over a billion streams globally. Her debut album has surpassed 2.5 billion streams worldwide. Berhe has also contributed to film, with her song "Paper Airplanes" featured as the main original song for a Tyler Perry Netflix film, and has collaborated with artists like Dean Lewis on the song "28."
With more than 8.6 billion streams and a global audience exceeding 7.7 million, Berhe has earned multi-platinum certifications in over 15 countries and a Juno Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year. Rolling Stone has highlighted her as an artist to watch, and her ongoing work in contemporary pop and alternative R&B continues to resonate with audiences. An occasional poet who wrote her own storybooks as a child, Berhe infuses her songs with emotional honesty, establishing a lasting connection with listeners worldwide.
