Since first appearing on Jai Paul & A.K. Paul’s label and collective Paul Institute in 2017, Ruthven has carefully mastered the soulful, infectious, R&B influenced sound he has masterfully displayed over six expansive singles. Drawing from both imaginative and autobiographical experiences, he presents his debut album, ‘Rough & Ready’. Led by ‘Thru The Walls’, the conversational love song which calls back to the sensual classics of Prince and D’Angelo, perfectly exemplifies Ruthven’s incredible musicianship and playful yet sincere lyricism.
