We had the good fortune of connecting with David Ruff and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi David, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
My favorite quote is by Vince Lombardi, Success only comes before Work in the dictionary. This was taught to me by my mom at a very little age, which sparked this incredible work ethic that evolved over time

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m a rising music artist and song writer with an ability to create music within crossover genres, spotlighting a genuine sound filled with intention , depth , and integrity proving I have my finger firmly on the pulse of contemporary sound. With over 20 million streams on multiple platforms, my song Back To Life , ranked number #1 for 24 weeks straight on Finland’s Viral Top 50 billboard.
Music collaborations with hot artists like GaTa (from the hit FXX & Hulu tv show “Dave”), YunTrivv, CHXNDLER & Rudy Grey just shows unique range as a musical artist who remains true to my organic audience.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m one to love the county spots and wine country, not a huge fan of cities or seas of people, unless I’m performing in front of all my fans. My favorite spots in my home town city currently are Julian, Little Italy and also Downtown for the Padre games at Petco Park.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
The credit to my success is from my closest friends and family that have actually stuck through the thick and thin for me. I do everything for my daughter and her mother, along with my other closest family and friends. I’ve had a lot of people not believe in me, so I like to to be able to say I can take the love I felt for them, and transferred it to the ones that actually mattered in my uprising.
