From the Northern country of Finland, Ruut DeMeo began playing piano by ear and composing her own songs at age 8, and performed in front of thousands of people as her family traveled around Europe as missionaries. Ruut landed in Baltimore at age 16, and began her journey as a professional singer songwriter when she got a record deal in Nashville at 21. Ruut’s songs have been soundtracks on film and videos, and having shared the stage with world renowned acts, such as Passenger, Hem, Brett Dennen and Kat Edmondson, she continues to inspire her audiences with her deep lyrics, lush piano arrangements and soulful voice. Ruut’s latest musical endeavor, a full-length instrumental album titled Soliloquy, came out in 2019. Ruut is also a novelist and poet; she is currently writing her second book of fiction.
