Hi, I’m Ruth Picker, an Australian songwriter and composer with a global reach. I’ve collaborated with artists in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Ireland, Germany and Australia, and I maintain a dedicated studio in Melbourne, while also recording at Westlake Studios in Los Angeles and Abbey Road Studios in London. In 2016 I founded The Song Tailors to provide opportunities for singers and musicians while ensuring my songwriting is heard. Under The Song Tailors I have released 40 songs to date, often identifying new talent and shaping songs across pop, ballads, folk, classical crossover and jazz. I also compose piano pieces and have two works selected for Jewish documentary film projects expected in 2025, and I’ve been commissioned to write an orchestral klezmer-style piece for a Chicago orchestra with a premiere planned for December 2025.
