Shelby Ruger 544

At the early age of 14, Shelby Ruger wrote her first song and debut single “ Deserve It.” She is currently working on her first EP, “Chapters”, to be released in the summer of 2019.

“Chapters” will be a book of interwoven songs that tells a story of falling in love, heartbreak, and coming of age. The narratives told in her songs take listeners on a musical journey of emotions, memories, and stories that unfold in the lyrics of her songs.

You can hear her straight-forward, thought-provoking writing style in her song “Deserve It.” Her interpretation of the moment when one finally understands what was obvious, to begin with.

Shelby wants to continue to inspire, entice, and remind us that just like a brush is an instrument to a painter, music is the instrument to our hearts.
