What do you get when you combine the hot pop vocal stylings of three teenage girls with a powerful message of faith? Allow us to introduce
The Rubyz.
The trio, consisting of Cammie Hall (16), Alexis Slifer (14), and Marissa Milele (13), is the brainchild of hit-maker Robert Beeson. Beeson is famed for having found such artists as
Leeland,
Joy Williams,
Third Day, and
Jars of Clay.
“Kids love catchy songs, but so much of what’s popular today focuses on meaningless, trivial things,” says Beeson. “The Rubyz are different in that their songs are not only engaging, but they contain messages of eternal value. Their music helps point kids back to what’s really important in life, and that’s Christ.”
The Rubyz' single "13"
challenges teens to take the problems they face and turn them over to God when life gets too hard. Additionally, "Without You"
is a song that emphasizes the decision to walk daily with Christ.
Produced by Chris Omartian (Hillary Duff, Pink, Jump5),
The Rubyz is one gem certain to shine brightly with teens and parents alike.
The trio takes its name from Proverbs 31, a passage that extols the virtues of honorable women, whose price is "far greater than rubies."
Executive Producer Joy Williams recalls, “The concept of the Rubyz was an exciting one, and I was on board almost immediately… I remember growing up and wanting songs to sing along to, songs that resonated with me where I was at… in school, dealing with relationships, embracing faith, and realizing who I was in Christ. Because of my own journey, I’ve always had a heart for girls. And being on the road full-time for seven years only highlighted how hungry girls are all over the world for music that speaks to their real-life issues.” She goes on to add, “I am passionate about the Rubyz, about Marisa, Alexis, Cammie, and how this music could encourage girls everywhere.”
