Details:
NYC based Singer/Songwriter/Pianist, Ruth Levy is the real thing. She is a talented and compelling performer whose music has been called "pure, soulful, extraordinary, wise and deeply moving".

Ruth has performed at such notable NYC venues as The Bitter End, Triad, Sidewalk Café, Makor and many others. Most recently, "Nothing's Wrong" her comic, clever and quirky song about the Victoria's Secret catalogue was included in the top-selling artist's compilation CD made by CDBABY.

Her musical backround began at age five with intense training in classical music at The Manhattan School of Music Prep. She went on to attend prestigious summer festivals like Tanglewood, and Aspen and won numerous scholarships and awards for her piano playing throughout her high school and college years. But as it turns out, in between hours of Brahms and Bach, she was writing songs...she just didn't show them to anyone. Until now...

Ruth's debut CD, and its title track "My Song is Out Now" (Rubydrop Records) has been hailed "...a wonderful expression of identity found...". Each of Ruth's songs is infused with a special consciousness that offers tremendous hope, affirmation and nurturing. She has a way of sharing her truths and her experiences in a way that deeply resonates and inspires. Her style has been compared most often to artists like Fiona Apple, Norah Jones, India Arie, Judy Collins, and Joni Mitchell.

When she's not performing, recording or writing, Ruth is honored to make teaching an important part of her life. She has taught music to literally hundreds of children and adults privately and in schools throughout NYC. Most notably, Ruth taught at the world renowned Boys Choir of Harlem, Inc., an experience that she maintains changed her life. In addition to music, Ruth is a Certified Yoga Teacher who has led classes in a variety of academic, holistic and corporate settings including City University of New York, Forbes Magazine, and Columbia University. For the last few years, she has traveled to first-class Caribbean health resorts LeSport and LaSource to teach master classes and workshops.
