Born Hellen George Majeshi · March 15, 1995 · Tanzania
Ruby is one of Tanzania’s most gifted and versatile vocalists — a singer and songwriter whose powerful, soulful voice has graced some of East Africa’s biggest stages and screens. Rooted in the church and perfected through competition, her journey is one of discipline, artistry, and an unmistakable gift that simply cannot be ignored.
Born Hellen George Majeshi, she first turned heads in 2014 when she finished as first runner-up in the prestigious Serengeti Fiesta Supa Nyota Diva singing competition — a platform that launched her professional career and introduced her soulful Afrobeat and R&B sound to a national audience. Her early hits Na Yule and Alele quickly became East African radio staples, cementing her as a voice to watch.
