ABC’s Windy City LIVE “Search for a Star” finalist, Justin Ruff is the definition of an artist! Fusing his unique R&B/Soul style with his love for jazz music, the star on the rise has created a sound all his own. The 25 year old, Cincinnati native, began developing a love for music at the tender age of 10. He was later introduced to Jazz music while studying at The School of Creative and Performing Arts. After deciding that he wanted to pursue music full-time, Justin moved to Chicago where he spread his wings and soared into the ears and hearts of many.
Bridging the gap between old school and mainstream music of today, Ruff has a way of bringing his listeners “home” with his sultry delivery and smooth presence. He is undoubtedly ahead of his time, yet somehow right on time. Having already caught the attention of major publications such as JET Magazine, Saint Heron and Soultrain.com, to name a few, the young crooner is looking to make his mark as one of today’s most sought after artists. With hit records gracing the airwaves of Cincinnati's #1 Radio Station, 101.1 The Wiz and performing throughout Indiana with the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra as the leading vocalist, Ruff is well on his way to becoming a house-hold name.
Earlier this year, Justin released his debut EP, The Ruff Draft, which debuted in the Top 100 on iTunees R&B/Soul charts. The EP is currently available on all digital outlets. Since it's release, he's been awarded great opportunities, such as opening for Grammy-nominated R&B artist, Ginuwine and R&B group, Dru Hill. Fresh off his Intimate Nights Tour, the R&B newcomer shows no signs of slowing down as he's already been tapped to perform at the 2017 Taste of Chicago Festival.
