A lot can happen in five years. Especially if you’re a teenager. Even more so if you are Ruth B, the Canadian-Ethiopian singer/songwriter who was catapulted to major viral stardom overnight in 2015. As a uniquely gifted storyteller and pianist, who writes all of her own songs, her work over the next few years deftly captured what it is to be young, vulnerable and, often, naive. Ruth’s voice still catches at the edge of the heart with its knowing warmth, yet her latest single, “Dirty Nikes”, resonates with a new kind of soulful intimacy, a sound born from syrupy summer days that fades into empty hot nights and worn memories.

Since then, her career has been dedicated to working on thoughtful and virals ways to present news and content to people on the internet and IRL, for platforms like BuzzFeed News, Yahoo News, NBC News, and Vox.com. She currently writes for the New York Times, Refinery29, teenVogue, and The Cut. She also runs a newsletter, 'BEAUTY IRL' where she talks about beauty, culture and politics.
Releasing a slew of independent singles and a raw, stream-of-consciousness-inspired EP, 'songs that you’ll probably never hear' in 2019, sad alex crafts each record with her own blend of tongue-in-cheek humor and brutal honesty, creating songs about love, heartbreak and every emotion in between. Previously writing for Kelly Rowland and lending her vocals to producer Vincent’s single “Here For You,”–in addition to a feature on fellow Red Bull Records’ artist Flawes’ debut album 'Highlights'–this year sad alex steps into the spotlight, honing her sound and channeling her quirky personality into music that is complex, relatable and wholly her own. In conversation with Fender's Artist Marketing Director Bryce Carr, sad alex will talk about her creative inspirations, what she looks for when building a team, and fills us in on her recent partnership working with Fender's Artist Marketing team.
