ABOUT

Hi, I’m Ruby! I am an 12-year old electric bass player from the Boston area, also known as Ruby Golden Tiger. I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember. My Dad is a musician and is also my music teacher. Our love for music runs deep! 

It all began with a love for music

When I was in 1st grade, I begged my Dad to let me play his new electric bass. Once I played my first notes, I knew I was hooked. I started practicing more seriously in 2nd grade when COVID started, and soon I was playing songs by great soul and funk artists, and dancing while playing. I love to have jam sessions and create music with my Dad @grumpyclay who plays the alto saxophone. 

Right now, I am enjoying practicing and learning new tunes, playing gigs around my hometown, and sharing my videos on Instagram. My little sister Mabel @mabelondrums is in 2nd grade, and recently started playing the drums. We’ve had so much fun playing songs together. 

Among the many bassists that inspire me are: Laura Lee from Khruangbin, Blu DeTiger, and Karina Rykman - and I’ve had the chance to meet them all! I love playing Stevie Wonder, Kool and the Gang, Earth Wind & Fire, Khruangbin, Taylor Swift, and so many other great musicians. 

Thank you for supporting my musical journey! It means the world to me!
