Since the earliest years, Ruby was interested in rap. Besides, he spent a lot of time with his cousin Scott (the boys’ mothers are sisters). They often got together into trouble, that’s why their parents tried to separate them in their early years. Nevertheless, they always had something in common – their love for music. It was Scott, who introduced his cousin to the new school of hip hop.
Ruby has been playing music since the primary school age. He played various musical instruments, like the drums and the piano, and tried to write the songs. He was 13 when he has joined his first band, made by his schoolmates. Later he left it and joined another group. Finally, in 2013, he reunited with his cousin and they formed “Suicideboys”.
