Ruby Mac Visits Section 36 Music!

Ruby Mac is the latest visitor to Section 36 Music! She is a wonderful singer who has released a single you won't want to miss. I was so excited she was willing to visit with us and discuss her music, challenges, and a bit more. I'm sure you'll love what she had to say.

So, let's see what happens when Ruby Mac visits Section 36!

Your recent single, “I hate you", is just outstanding. What can you tell me about it?

I wrote I hate you about a breakup I was going through last year. The relationship had felt pretty serious to me and I was looking forward to continue to grow together but I found out that the feeling wasn’t mutual. The breakup was really tough on me and I wrote I hate you about the fine line between love and hate. I’m really excited that it’s finally out in the world and I hope that it can help other people who’re going through the same thing.

Do you have a favorite memory from the recording process?

I record everything myself in my home studio :) I love getting in a good groove with recording and I especially love producing. I’m fairly new to producing and I feel like I learn something new with each song. I love the trial and error of creating and the feeling of satisfaction when I know I’ve come up with a great idea.

What would you say is the biggest challenge with your music career?

At this point, I think the biggest challenge is social media. It’s a lot to juggle alongside the creative process. In a perfect world, I would just be able to make music and play live shows and grow from that… but a huge aspect of success nowadays is becoming popular through social media. Social media and I have a love/hate relationship hahaha.

What do you enjoy most about performing on stage in front of an audience?

I love being able to connect with the audience and play my songs for them in person. It’s such a different atmosphere compared to social media because I get the see the people who are fans of my music and put a face to the name and feel the energy in the room.

If you could cover any Disney song, which one would you choose? Why?

Ooo this is a great question. I was such a theater kid and I remember when I was younger I sang “I won’t say (I’m in love)” from Hercules in a group and I would love to give that song a shot by myself. I just think it’s such a fun and beautiful song and every time I hear it, it makes me want to sing along.

What are your immediate musical goals?

I’m currently in the process of producing and releasing music for my upcoming EP and I hope to continue learning more and getting even better at producing my songs in the coming months. I’m also trying to find ways to enjoy posting on social media (since it can feel mundane at times) so, that’s a goal I have for the new year!  Stay tuned!!

An upcoming EP sounds amazing! And maybe we can help her with that social media burden by following her everywhere we can!

As always, I want to thank Ruby for visiting with us, and for sending along the pictures to accompany the interview. 

I'm sure you’ll all want to follow her and see what she has going on. I would follow her on Instagram and Spotify to make sure you don't miss a thing. 

Thanks again Ruby, and good luck reaching your goals!
