Ruby Jackson on Her Sound, Rider, and Sydney International Women's Jazz Festival

Ruby Jackson, an R&B artist, is scheduled to take the stage at the Sydney International Women's Jazz Festival, where she will be the opening act for Tina. In a recent conversation, Jackson characterized her music as a fusion of R&B, soul, and jazz, likening it to a candle-lit martini bar. Her hospitality requests include lemon and honey tea, a mix of salty and sweet popcorn, and a bottle of red wine. Her passion for music ignited in high school, particularly through writing jazz instrumentals and film scores. In 2019, while providing backing vocals for a friend's band, she penned her debut single, 'Simplicities.' For her latest EP, This Love Thing, she enjoyed arranging vocal layers and strings. Excited to see Tina's band live, Jackson cherishes the memories of her first band performance at The Vanguard. She holds great admiration for Sydney jazz artists like Hillary Geddes, Abby Constable, Tilly Street, and Sarah Purdon. If given the chance, she would love to tour with Lianne La Havas.
