Flower Face

Flower Face has been releasing music online for nearly a decade. Her journey began organically, without the assistance of a manager or extensive promotion. Ruby initially shared her music on Bandcamp, where she garnered a loyal following with her emotionally raw and introspective songs. Her breakthrough came with the song 'Angela,' which gained significant attention on YouTube and Spotify, propelling her into the indie music scene.

In 2021, Flower Face signed with Nettwerk Records, a decision she approached with caution due to preconceived notions about record labels. However, Nettwerk's support and understanding of her artistic vision provided her with the perfect match, allowing her to maintain creative control while benefiting from the label's resources.

Flower Face's music is characterized by confessional songwriting and a blend of indie, alternative, and folk influences. Her inspirations include artists like The National, Bright Eyes, and Conor Oberst, whose songwriting styles have deeply influenced her approach to music. Conor Oberst's confessional lyrics taught Ruby to embrace vulnerability in her writing, while The National inspired her to explore different ways of expressing emotions.

Ruby's songwriting process is organic and often messy. She keeps numerous notebooks and uses her phone's notes app to jot down lyric ideas as they come to her. Her latest single, 'Cornflower Blue,' exemplifies her creative process, where a single line can evolve into an entire song. The song reflects on themes of love and disillusionment, drawing inspiration from the story of Vermeer and his use of the expensive cornflower blue paint.

In addition to her music, Flower Face is a talented visual artist. She holds a fine arts degree and has explored various mediums, including video, digital art, and photography. Her visual art often complements her music, creating a cohesive artistic experience for her audience. During the studio process of her album, Ruby kept an art journal, which will be part of the album release, showcasing her multidisciplinary approach.

Living on her own for the first time, Ruby has embraced the journey of self-discovery and personal growth. She is learning to appreciate her own company and find solace in her thoughts, a process she hopes to continue in the coming year. Through her music and art, Flower Face continues to explore the depths of human emotions, creating a space for herself and her listeners to navigate the complexities of life and love.
