Lesley Rankine is a musician and multimedia artist who works under the moniker Ruby. Her first major release was the acclaimed electronic-downtempo-trip hop album “Salt Peter,” a classic of the mid ’90’s alternative and dance music scenes. In the course of her career, she has worked with a diverse group of musicians and artists including Trent Reznor, Tom Jones, and Samuel Bayer. Her latest release is her 3rd album, Waiting for Light, a work characterized by emotive electronica, acoustic and traditional instruments, with soft, melodic, at times jazz-infused vocals.
