Rue Cooper is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Nassau, Bahamas. Now based in Edinburgh, Rue’s love for music was apparent from age 2 when she frequently communicated with her parents through song. Fortified by childhood piano and saxophone lessons, Rue’s musicality led her to musical theatre and orchestra in grade school and to begin songwriting as a young teenager. Classic gospel chord influences are evident in Rue’s style as an emerging vocalist bringing a reimagined, modern take on Funk and Soul to Edinburgh and beyond. Rue’s musical influences include Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, and Adele, as she believes singing’s true beauty lies in its ability to express intimate and authentic messages. Currently, Rue is the vocalist for two Edinburgh-based bands and is working with producers to release her own music while learning music production in the process.
