All Together Now! Arts Celebration Weekend

Charismatic vocalist Webster spans the worlds of R&B, Pop, Rock, Jazz and beyond. Her flawless range has been compared to Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Minnie Ripperton, while her breezy and poetic songwriting is reminiscent of Sade. She has garnered two Billboard #1’s and seven Top 10’s on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart, making her the first vocalist in the format to garner a #1 since the iconic Sade. She’s touring in support of her new album, A Woman Like Me.

Ruiz built her reputation as a singer in Mexico City and the Caribbean until Cirque du Soleil brought her to Canada in 2009. She was soon winning awards from Radio Canada and the Vue sur la relève festival, and a prestigious artist’s residency at Place des Arts. Her music embraces her two cultures, Mexico and Quebec, and her love of theatre, tribal and Latin dances, circus arts and music. At the heart of it all is singing, which she baptized “the source.”
