To many of today’s top artists, Hartford, CT is just another stop their tour buses make on Interstate 95 en route to bigger cities like Boston and New York. Taking full advantage of that fact Ru Williams continued to find himself as the opening act for many of the city’s biggest shows. Having already opened up for Ne-Yo, Slim (formerly of 112), Keyshia Cole, Trey Songz, Bobby Valentino and many more, Ru is a hometown favorite who never disappoints. Winning countless talent shows, he was named Connecticut’s 2008 R&B Artist of the Year. And now, (The R&B King of CT as they call him) Ru is ready to take center stage and show the world that he’s got real talent backed by raw vocal ability and true songwriting skills. Ru Williams definitely makes music that can be described as the soundtrack to any young man’s life ― living, learning and loving. He began seriously songwriting when he was 19 and though he lacked a lot of experience at such a young age, Ru’s unique ability to tell real stories that people can relate to is the foundation to what his mark will be in this business. Influenced by legends like Sam Cooke, James Brown and Stevie Wonder, Ru understands the importance of giving a great show. An all-around performer, he goes the extra mile and feels that the stage is where you bring your music to life. “The beauty of music is not only what you say, but how you say it,” he says. “Performing is the reward and it is where you can bring different emotions and really touch people with your message.” A true student of his craft, Ru says he looks up to groups like to Boyz II Men for their tight harmonies and that singer/songwriters such as Brian McKnight and Carl Thomas taught him the importance of always writing & singintg from the heart.
