I think music has always been what I always wanted to do, but I didn't know how or when I was going to get discovered.
From Ruth B
At first it was kind of hard, because I had become used to just my phone screen in front of me. But sharing your songs with an audience is incredible.
Peter Pan is kind of this metaphor for someone or something that makes you feel at home, that brings you out of loneliness, that makes you free. And that's exactly what music does for me.
I went down to my keyboard and was playing random chords, and the one line I kept repeating was, 'I'm a lost boy from Neverland.' I decided to post it to Vine, and it got the biggest reaction I'd ever gotten. People wanted to hear more, and I had to explain it wasn't a song.
I felt like that was my calling. I just didn't know how I was going to get my voice out of Edmonton, but I definitely knew that music was what I was going to do with my life.
I'm not afraid to have my heart broken and go out and meet people.
Music has been my greatest passion forever.
I thought it was a prank. There is no way six different major labels trying to reach out to me. But it was actually happening.
I was never chasing to make a career out of it, but every day after school, I'd go to my keyboard and play for four hours and make up songs. It was a constant part of my life.
I came up with, 'I am a lost boy from Neverland, usually hanging out with Peter Pan' and recorded that simple line on my phone. I watched it back and thought it was kinda cheesy, and I was actually going to delete it. But I thought 'Whatever, it's catchy.'
