Sol Ruiz

Has not connected their Facebook account.

Independent Artist, Sol Ruiz, first signed with EMI Publishing when she was nineteen and wrote songs for many top latin pop singers, such as Noelia and Belinda. She placed her songs on Television programs such as, Showtime’s The L Word and on a Discovery Channel series on Cuba, and she has also been featured as a vocalist for signed Cuban bands, like Descemer Bueno's Siete Rayo and Lucrecia. She herself, was offered a deal to be a Reggaeton/Latin Pop Star herself, but Sol fled to New Orleans instead, feeling the need to ground herself musically and learn the true art form of blues and jazz emerges. After a handful of sleepless nights and performing on the streets of the French Quarter, she came to back Miami with a green eyebrow, a top hat and a new sound: "Psychedelic Cuban Blues." In 2009 she went into the studio to record her first studio album, "Outlander", with Bobby MacIntyre from the Twilight Singers. "Outlander" embodied an organic sound, each song revealing a different side of her musical styles. Her performances are as unpredictable and spontaneous as she is, as skulls spew fog and drums beat to Afro-Cuban chanting. She is a globe-trotting, vagabonding, sandal flopping stage woman that tells tales of lost loves and adventure odesseys. Combining theatrical and conversational wild child wit, Sol's auto biographical lyrics and music connects with people of all walks of life. She is now working on her 2nd studio album to be release early 2012. In Madrid, Contigo en la Distancia reports, "She gave me a feeling of discovery I thought I had forgotten. Sol unwraps, changes color, and gives the jam exactly what is needed."
