RUVA—An artist whose name blooms from the essence of "God's flower" in Shona—Ruvarashe. Her artistry resembles a carefully tended Vocal Garden, a metaphorical sanctuary where her discography flourishes. This garden, a nod to her name's floral meaning, embodies the interplay of lyricism and production, converging in a harmonious symphony.
RUVA's lyrical narratives are windows into her world, chronicling personal experiences and empathetically capturing stories around her. Rooted in her Christian faith, her music explores themes of relationship, aspiration, and more from a faith-based perspective.
A worshipper at heart, RUVA finds inspiration in figures like Ron Kenoly, Todd Dulaney, Brooke Ligertwood & Cece Winans.
Immersed in the timeless allure of Soul & Jazz, RUVA enjoys the work of legends like Etta James, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, and Blossom Dearie. John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman’s ‘You Are Too Beautiful’ is a favorite of hers.
Her musical palette extends to contemporary artists like Madison Ryann Ward, Yebba, Silk Sonic, Samara Joy, and the production stylings reminiscent of Smino, creating an eclectic fusion of traditional and modern influences. Their influence weaves through her sound—a captivating blend of Neo-Soul, Soul, and R&B.
Her debut EP, 'from RUVA to El Roi', went live on May 11th 2024, where she is the writer of the letters (turned songs), and El Roi (The-God-Who-Sees), is the receiver.
Her work is & always will be to the glory of the Lord God.
