Ruby Singh

Ruby Singh is a multi-award-winning composer, producer, performer, and educator living on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ Nations (Vancouver, BC). His artistic practice spans music, poetry, photography, and film, exploring myth, ecology, justice, and speculative futures. Singh’s soundscapes are deeply rooted in the sonic worlds around us—from coastal rains and planetary movement to birdsong—and are known for their immersive, visual quality. His compositions, which bridge traditional and emergent practices, have earned multiple Jessie and Leo nominations and reflect a bold reimagining of the human experience.

In 2022, Singh received the Lieutenant Governor’s Jubilee Award for excellence in Art and Music. In 2023, he was nominated for a JUNO, and won both the WCMA Global Artist of the Year and the BC Touring Council’s Artist of the Year. In 2024, he was awarded the WCMA Electronic/Dance Artist of the Year. In 2025 he won the WCMA for Spiritual Artist of the Year for his project Vox.Infold, an acclaimed a cappella collaboration centring Indigenous, Black, South Asian and Inuit voices.

His other creative projects include Polyphonic Garden, an ambient audio-visual project utilizing biosonification and field recording. Singh also produced kraKIN, a boom-bap ecology of West Coast flora, fauna, and fungi, RupLoops, an interactive solo live-looping performance
and Jhalaak, a Sufi hip-hop album recorded in Rajasthan, India. Whether building interactive installations or live performances, Singh believes in art’s ability to reimagine futures, to repurpose aesthetic freedoms toward civil and environmental justice.
