Instagram: @iruzrue_

Rue is a R&B/Neo Soul vocalist hailing from the south. She loves all art forms and how they move together in harmony. She writes poetry, music and creates daily, as way of self care and just for the love of it. She is a proud member of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity and currently a grad student at CIIS in the Expressive Arts Program. Rue is excited to be a feature for this open mic and is ready to put on a once in a life time set for all who attend.
