Ruby Gill

If anyone can silence a room, it’s Joburg-born, Beechworth-based songwriter and poet Ruby Gill, whose arresting lyricism and wit have garnered millions of streams, awards and airplay from triple j to BBC and KCRW. Fresh off tours in AUS, South Africa, NZ and UK/EU, the artist’s “lyrical wizardry” has earned the reputation of unmissable, with her 2025 record ‘Some Kind Of Control’ shortlisted for an Australian Music Prize. Ruby’s debut poetry book ‘I’m not exaggerating when I say’ sold out two print runs in launch month. Her writing has appeared in The Saturday Paper, Harvard Advocate, Griffith Review and more.
