Ruby Archer is a 17-year-old singer-songwriter from the NSW Central Coast. Her melodic yet intense approach to composition and performance makes Ruby a unique and exciting talent. A multi-instrumentalist, Ruby’s musical development began in school choirs, progressed as a percussionist in ensembles and orchestras and found its rightful place as a pianist and vocalist. After being exposed to jazz and the composition side of the musical world via teacher and mentor Dorian Mode, Ruby realised that song writing is what resonates with her most.
Her original compositions have been awarded prizes in the national Australian Children’s Music Foundation songwriting competitions, 2019 and 2020. She was runner up as a duo with Stella Hannagan in the 2019 Discovered talent competition, Central Coast Council. Ruby was invited to perform her original work at YIPA (Youth in Performing Arts) in 2021 and was the proud recipient of a 2020 Bouddi Foundation for the Arts grant and ORiGIN™ Music Publishing Award which allowed her to record her debut EP "chamomile tea" with producers Jack Nigro and ARIA Award winning producer, Scott Horscroft (The Grove Studios). In 2021 Ruby was awarded another Bouddi Foundation for the Arts grant; Narelle Jones Memorial Award to assist with the distribution of her music. Ruby’s much anticipated debut EP, "chamomile tea" was released February 2022 and she was again invited to perform her original work at YIPA (Youth in Performing Arts) in 2022.
Ruby was awarded third place and an encouragement award at the 2022 Speak Up National Songwriting Competition. Throughout early 2022, Ruby gradually put together a band of like-minded musicians. In July 2022, Ruby and the Groovy Doobies performed at YouthRock and won first prize as well as the Special Finalist Award. In August 2022, Ruby made her acting debut as Veronica in the 10 x 30min series "Soundtrack to Our Teenage Zombie Apocalypse" for ABC ME and ABC iview.
Thanks to a grant from Create NSW, Ruby has been recording her debut album with Producer Jack Nigro (The Grove Studios and Sonora Studios). “Oh So Tender” will showcase Ruby's diverse song writing abilities and will be released late 2023. The first single from the album, “New Dream” has just been released and Ruby has won the 15 years of triple J Unearthed High competition!
