Ruby Swan is a dream pop artist and producer from Moh’kins’tsis (Calgary, AB). Her music is a whimsical, romantic soundtrack to soothe your neglected inner child. By exploring her emotional inner world in song, Swan says she hopes “to comfort and inspire those who have been impacted by adverse childhood experiences and are still in the process of blooming.” Using software synthesizers and her voice, Swan creates sugary, celestial, vocally-driven electronic pop music inspired by nostalgia - Sailor Moon, 80’s cartoons, Super Nintendo, and John Hughes films. A “strong preference for thoroughly processed vocals” is evident in her use of autotune, distortion, pitch-shifting, and vocal chops to produce unearthly, dream-like vocals that further contribute to a magical sonic landscape. Her production contains elements of pop punk, new wave, hyperpop, and light rock and is peppered with intentional glitches and imperfections in a process meant to imitate the fractured nature of memory.
