Intervista con Rueth

Parlaci di te, chi sei e da dove vieni?

I am Ruth Mafapane an R&B singer and songwriter from South Africa, graduated from Mafolofolo High School and currently a Psycholoy Student at University of South Africa.

Come è nata la tua passione per la musica? Chi sono i tuoi idoli?

My passion for music was fascinating because the first song I recorded received a lot of feedback and i wasn’t sure if was my thing at first. My musical idols are Tems, Ayrra Starr, Tinashe and Doja Cat.

Che tipo di musica fai?

I make R&B, Pop and Dance.

Qual è la canzone più importante per te? Quale messaggio vuoi trasmettere all'ascoltatore?

The most important song I recorded was “Body Language” and it talks about a girl who is expressing her love to her ” Crush”, she’s explaining her feelings to him and telling him to pay attention so they can be on the same page. Body Language has that emotional feel that makes it sound as a sad song but in actual fact its a seductive song hence the mood and content.

Perché un ascoltatore che non ti conosce dovrebbe ascoltare la tua musica?

My music is a fusion of R&B, Soul and Pop and which can be listened by listeners between 16-45 depends on the mood. It’s the kind of music a person would listen to whenever they need uplifting or love motivation to become the best versions of themselves.

Quali sono i tuoi progetti futuri? Dove ti vedi tra 5 anni?

I’m planning on releasing a third album 2025 and i want to see myself as a global mainstream singer and songwriters who is an icon to the next generation.
