At just 16 years old, Ruby Rodgers is already one of Australia's most exciting young artists. 

Ruby released her debut EP ‘Crisis’ in 2025, after starring in 'Future Council’ - Damon Gameau's youth-led documentary (released in 2024). She delivered a TEDx talk exploring songwriting as a way of making sense of an increasingly complex world, and has been speaking and performing across Australia and overseas. 2026 marks the release of her Sophomore EP 'Sixteen" written alongside collaborators Alex Hope, Aubrie Mitchell, Rhys Lewis, Nick Kingswell, Shane Nicholson and Benjamin Rodgers, with production by Benjamin Rodgers

Ruby was recently awarded the 2025 Environmental Music Prize People's Choice Award for Hits the Heart, a song inspired by her experience in 'Future Council'. Voted on by listeners across 61 countries, the track cemented Ruby as one of Australia's most compelling emerging voices, pairing intimate songwriting with urgent social commentary. 

Alongside her own artist project, Ruby has become an increasingly sought-after songwriter and topliner, collaborating with artists across Australia and internationally. Most recently, she earned a co-writing credit on Lance Savali’s latest single ‘Higher’ Ft. RIta Ora, further cementing her reputation as one of our most exciting emerging songwriting talents. She recently featured as a vocalist and co-writer on Sweatbaby's SWITCH and was announced as Lead Youth Patron of the Next Up Music Awards, working alongside a national Youth Council to help shape Australia's newest music awards platform.

Drawing influence from artists including Phoebe Bridgers, Radiohead and Ethel Cain, Ruby continues to establish herself as one of Australia's most compelling young songwriters. Never provocative for provocation's sake, her songs are driven by emotional honesty, examining uncomfortable subjects with nuance, vulnerability and remarkable empathy. Ruby's live performances are immersive, emotionally resonant and mark the arrival of a remarkable new voice in Australian music.
