Jazz Singer Lisbon

```html

Ru is a bilingual musician born in Portugal who started singing from birth and began playing the piano at the early age of three.

With a lineage of pianists and musicians, Ru inherited a natural ear and an insatiable passion for music. By the age of 14, Ru broadened her musical skills by teaching herself to play the guitar and bass.

She pursued her musical education in various Jazz institutes, including Hot Club de Portugal and Lusíada University, where she first picked up the drums, studying with renowned instructors such as Alexandre Diniz, Ana Araujo, Anne Kaasa, Luísa Oliveira (piano), Mariana Norton, Joana Espadinha, Bárbara Lagido (voice), Pedro Leónidas (electric guitar), Joel Silva (jazz drums), and Cristina de Castro.

By the end of 2008, Ru had been selected as Casual Attraction's female vocalist/acoustic guitarist, and their debut album "At First Sight" was underway. In May, they performed a "live and on the air" show for RDP Africa at the Onda Jazz club in Lisbon. June marked the start of their FNAC promotion tour, performing in major Commercial Centers across Portugal.

After taking a break to complete her rigorous university course at IADE- Creative University, where she earned her degree in design, Ru returned to the music scene in late 2010, performing in jazz pubs, hotels, and private events as a session musician.

By the new year, Ru had become the new keyboard player/backing vocalist of Rock A Lady, a highly popular all-female cover rock band, touring all over Portugal and playing live at festivals for thousands of people.

Currently, Ru works as a freelance musician (vocals, piano, acoustic guitar) and performs solo DJ & Voice live act shows, in addition to leading her jazz/soul/blues/pop band.

The sky is the limit.
