​

Music was at the centre of Ruth's upbringing in Wales, frequently performing with international award-winning choir Ysgol Gerdd Ceredigion, The National Youth Orchestra of Wales, alongside many chamber and solo performances and competitions. Growing up on a farm not only allowed her to practice at all hours at all volumes, but also nourished her strong connection to nature and love for animals.

​

Ruth attributes her love for music to the vibrant musical culture of Wales, owing a debt of gratitude towards two particularly inspirational teachers she had during her school days, Islwyn Evans and Stephen Pilkington.
