ABOUT
What happens when a formally trained jazz vocalist brings his musicianship to modern R&B? You get Justin Ruff, an Atlanta-based singer and songwriter blending the improvisation and soul of jazz with the smooth grooves and intimacy of contemporary R&B.
Known for his warm vocals, scat singing and engaging live performances, Justin has opened the main stage at ONE Musicfest and shared stages with artists including Teedra Moses and Ginuwine. His music moves comfortably between genres while remaining rooted in soul, creating a sound that feels both timeless and distinctly his own.
Justin’s music is available on all streaming platforms.
