She has also featured as backing vocalist on A Little Joy on Australian soul singer, Jade Macrae’s In My Veins album as well as Jimmy Barnes’ If Santa Forgets (Blue Christmas) and When Your Love is Gone (30:30 Hindsight). Ruby has been writing her own songs and poetry for some time now, and has recently started working with Universal Music Publishing Australia.
