Ruth Bootsma

My name is Ruth, and I am a singer-songwriter and metal vocalist. At first glance, these two worlds seem miles apart. Yet, my musical journey moves organically between the intimate artistry of piano and cello and the layered, narrative power of symphonic and gothic metal.

The common thread in everything I do? Connection. Inspired by nature and human vulnerability, I write and sing about mental health and resilience. Through my music, I create a safe space where masks can be dropped and connecting with your true self takes center stage.

Why? Because I believe that everyone holds the power to see the light and to fully be themselves.
