ABOUT

Hip Hop and R&B are a match made in musical heaven, but what happens when a formally trained Jazz vocalist enters the chat? You get Justin Ruff — a singer/songwriter who’s here to prove that R&B could never die. 

He’s got a thing for acoustic sets and he’s giving us a front row seat to an intimate experience with his latest EP “Sessions Vol. 1.” Smooth vocals float over stripped down instrumentation for just over 11 mins of melodic bliss. 

He even launched his hand-poured candle line, Justin Ruff Candle Co., to help set the vibe and create a fully immersive listening experience. 

Justin has shared stages with everyone from Ginuwine to Queen Naija and he’s ready to share his most personal work with you. To keep up with performances, purchase candles or simply get to know more about the man behind the sound, visit justinruffmusic.com
