#OMGRUBY Promo Tour stops at Lehman College

This past Saturday, April 13th, 2013, I made my very first college appearance for the LOL Comedy Series hosted by DJ Kool Mike Ski.  Let me tell you, I went home that night with my cheeks sore from all the JOKES.  Me and my dancers had a really dope time as well.  Check out some stills from that night and please note... we are going to be EVERYWHERE THIS SUMMER so... STAY TUNED via the blog or check out the schedule via www.omgruby.com

The Apollo Tree Stump


Back in November 2012, I rubbed the famous tree stump at the Apollo Theater in Harlem at a Faith Evans concert (LOVE LOVE LOVE HER).  I closed my eyes and said a quick prayer; I was going through a hardship at that time.  God was probably looking down at my childlike self LAUGHING... lol, as I rubbed this tree but... He answered my prayers. Since then, my life has done a complete 180 and I have not looked back.  Please allow me a brief moment to update you all on some thaaannnggs that have been going on.

The #ARIES season has always been my favorite of all the Zodiac.  March & April were BLAZING Hip Hop and R&B HOT for me and the #omgruby promo team.  First and foremost, my single "Runway" was officially released via Elique Music Group/Falu Enterprises/EOne Distribution on MARCH 12TH, 2013.  In a short period of two weeks, I charted in the 15th position as a New & Noteworthy R&B Artist on iTunes!! Woop woop!!!!  Agree or Disagree with iTunes? CLICK!.  If you look right below me, Marcus Canty is hanging out on the charts with me too?!  After linking with him in NYC at The Box, rumor has it we might be doing a duet together ASAP.

On March 19th, 2013, I made my very first debut performance as a solo artist at Sounds of Brazil (SOB's), New York City and was received with so much love.  I got my "Janet" on and finally met the people over at eOne responsible for help getting the single off the ground.  Strickland encouraged me and said, "You're future is very bright!"  I am so grateful to have a big machine behind me.  To add to the excitement, I then found out "Runway" was the #1 project released on my label for the month of March.

Also in March, I performed opening for #throwback R&B singer Horace Brown who gave me words of encouragement, before even knowing my name or what I do, "It's your time baby, it's your time," greeted me with a kiss and wished me luck.  March 25, I celebrated my born day with loved ones and friends.  Really, since the beginning of March until NOWWWW, lol... I have been celebrating.  Celebrity promoter Valentino Cassanova (whom I linked with at the 2012 Webster Hall Nicki Minaj Christmas Party) will be throwing me a birthday party at the Empire Rooftop Lounge Friday, April 12th, 2013.  If you are interested in celebrating life withme, head on over to where the action is on my Facebook fan page, hit Like!, then send me a DM to be added to the list.

March 31st, 2012 I was in the presence of some important figures in R&B music, whom also gave me great words of encouragement.  Lenny Green of WBLS 107.5 shook my hand after I bashfully said, "Do you remember me from SOB's?  You hosted my showcase."  He responded with his great smile and in his "Quiet Storm" voice said, "Of course, how could I not?! You were on FIRE!" I also got the opportunity to exchange words with Joe in his camp who also consoled me and told me I would be meeting many talented musicians along the way to help  build my show.  In my mind, the little girl in me was creaming "OMG JOE!! I LOVE YOU!!! AND LENNY!!! YOUR RADIO SHOW IS THE REASON WHY I LOVE R&B MUSIC!!" Lol, I went home with tension in my cheeks from smiling so hard out of excitement the entire night.
