artist Art from the Ruin

Art From The Ruin was officially born in late 2003, yet the concept was flowing in the blood of both members long before. Singer/ lyricist/ writer Stephanie Deline and guitarist/writer/ producer Jacob King met in June of 2003, when their respective bands played a show together. Each was greatly impressed by the other's talents, and remained in close contact even though they lived two hours apart. One year later, armed with an overwhelming desire to participate in the booming Toronto music scene, Stephanie left her band and her hometown and made the crucial move to big city. She wanted to start up an acoustic project, and naturally Jacob was the first person she contacted. From the very first jam session, it was clear that the chemistry between Jacob and Stephanie was electric. The first Art From The Ruin song, "Running Out", was born that night. And the songs kept coming, each one with a different personality. Stephanie's melodies and vocals are hypnotic; sometimes chilling, sometimes soaring, at other times soft and timid. With Stephanie as the focus, Jacob weaves a sound scape around her on acoustic guitar. The result is the unique and edgy sound that is Art From The Ruin. Art From The Ruin has something for any music fan: twisting, captivating guitar hooks, soul-baring lyrics, and interesting songs that are new, fresh, and different while still being listener friendly.
