Ruth Lorenzo was born in Murcia (south east Spain) in 1982 and she started singing opera at a very young age. When she was twelve, her family moved to the USA and there she started to study music, theatre, dancing and singing, playing lead roles in musical productions such as The Phantom of the Opera and My Fair Lady.
Four years later, when she came back to Spain, she did not give up on her dream of becoming a singer and joined a rock band with which she toured Spain for three years. In 2008 she participated in the talent show X Factor in the United Kingdom, finishing fifth. After the success achieved in the program, Ruth performed more than two-hundred concerts throughout Europe and she has released several singles in Spain and in the United Kingdom (Burn in 2011 and The Night in 2013). As a songwriter she has written songs for renowned national and international artists.
Her Eurovision entry has been written by Ruth herself alongside the British songwriters Jim Irvin and Julian Emery.
