Biography
There are four artists named Ruby.
1) Ruby (the UK band)
2) Ruby (harsh breakcore artist)See:Ruben De Haan
3) Ruby (Egyptian singer)See:Roubi
4) Ruby (Korean girl group)
5) Ruby (Romanian singer)
1) Ruby was the project of UK vocalist Lesley Rankine and US composer/producer Mark Walk. Their repertory of styles expanded across electronic, trip hop, noise, and industrial. The band Ruby was named as such because Rankine and Walk both have a grandmother named Ruby.
Rankine began her music career as frontwoman to London-based indie punk band Silverfish. When the band split up in 1993, Rankine moved to Seattle. There she joined forces with producer Mark Walk, with whom she worked on material for industrial group Pigface, to produce an electronic album which echoed the downtempo styles, especially trip hop, more than her noise background; the album, Salt Peter, was released in 1995, with a remix album, Salt peter Remixed: Revenge, the sweetest fruit., appearing in 1996.
Lesley returned to her native Scotland to work on the second Ruby album, Short Staffed at the Gene Pool. This saw her release material on a new UK label, Wichita Recordings, as well as Thirsty Ear in the US in 2001. The song Grace was mixed by several producers, including Mira Calix of Warp Records. This was followed by another remix album, Altered and Proud: the Short-Staffed Remixes, later that year. She has since taken a break from recording, returning to her home country.
