Career

Ruby was born in Medgidia on 28 January 1989. She graduated from the "Dinu Lipatti" Music High School, specializing in acting. Her first step in the music field was in a club in Germany, where she held her first concert, thus becoming the first Romanian performer to debut abroad. [1]

Her debut single, a club music track titled "Touch Me" in 2010, enjoyed success in Turkey. [2] The song "Touch Me" was nominated for the 2011 British Online Music Awards in the "Best Dance Act" category. [3] In the same year, Ruby released her second single, "Get High", in collaboration with Spanish singer Juan Magan. [4]

In February 2011, Ruby began collaborating with HaHaHa Production, releasing the track "Party Hard." At the beginning of 2012, she released another single titled "Miracle of Love." The song was accompanied by a music video directed by Iulian Moga and entered the national Romanian Top 100 chart, peaking at number 31. [5]

In September 2012, Ruby became very popular in Romania with the release of her first single in Romanian "Stinge lumina" (Turn Off the Lights), produced by Alex Velea and HaHaHa Production. A music video directed by Radu Aldea was released alongside the song. The single remains Ruby's most successful single in Romania to date, quickly reaching its peak position of number 18.
