Ruth & Unlimited

about

"The birth of a genius is a rare occurrence, this is a fact everybody knows. Ruth Koleva is such a fact. She began singing and playing the piano before she started talking and walking. Now, at the tender but extremely productive age of 18, she is about to drop her golden, soulful vocals on a debut album with the up-and-coming jazz innovators from Unlimited . Her four octave vocal range, in combination with the funky jazz vibes by Unlimited, melts with the lyrics into an eclectic neo-soul nectar that has you sipping until the last drop. For Ruth, music isn't just a hobby, it's her way of life. She starts traveling around the world at the age of 9, having her first official stage appearance in Thailand. At 15, she flies to New York to enchant Joe Fletcher, a top manager and concert promoter who has worked with a wide range of musicians (BB King, James Brown, Tori Amos, Black Eyed Peas), the result of which is singing up with him and recording her first original demo with Martin Briley, who is famous for successfully producing, writing and co-writing songs for gold record artists such as *NSYNC, Elton John, Daughtry and Marc Anthony. In 2007, Ruth is chosen among hundreds of candidates to spend five months in the capital of show business, Los Angeles, training at the Hollywood Pop Academy where she performs in front of the soul music pioneer Stevie Wonder. Meanwhile, she meets Carlos Neal from Universal Music and records four tracks which are to be released later this year. Lo
