After training as a performer since as far back as I can remember, and having written over 150 songs of which over 50 have been recorded. I have been working with 'UGN' a Gospel record company, and Neil Preston and I have a publishing deal with 'Urban Angel'.
My songs are World/Pop/R&B and have messages within them. I have a very strong faith in God. I've been called to evangelise (tell people about God) and I am currently undergoing a course in evangelism with the 'Light Project' to enable me to back up what I'm saying in my songs, in every day life.
I have been on an exciting journey and I see every day as a step nearer to getting my songs heard on a wider scale. I have gained alot of experience through training at the Hammond school, Merseyside Dance and Drama, City College (Manchester) and Liverpool Theatre School. I have also toured with Westlife, danced on the Smash Hits tour and appeared in a film called 'Everybody Loves Sunshine' featuring Goldie and David Bowie. I also appeared in Corinne Bailey Raes video 'Like a Star' and in Hollyoaks. At present I am teaching street dance at Dramania.
I'm fortunate enough to have an excellent producer and co-writer, Neil Preston. We met at a songwriting class and have been working together ever since. I know we'll create a No1 for the Glory of God one of these days so watch this space!!.....
Blessings, Ruth Anne XxX

Why this name?
My stage name is my name and my middle name 'Ruth Anne' which is also my daughters middle name (Tomisha Ruth Anne). '2 Ps in a Pod Productions' which is the name of myself and my producer and co-writer, came about because we are musically 2 peas in a pod (our songs always come together perfectly), we are both from the same road so in that respect we are 2 peas in a pod, and we are also 2 literal P's in a pod as Neils sirname is 'Preston' and mine is 'Pollard!' Neil and I have just launched our new Pop band 'Dreamz Central' for our RnB, Dance, and Pop songs and I have launched my music ministry 'World Music Ministry' for my gospel songs.
Do you play live?
I've sung live at various events including Chesterfest fundays, an award ceremony, a mini 'Live 8', a 'Fair Trade' fashion show, the zoo Frost Fair, Battle of the Bands, Chester Cathedral (Light project supporters event), the Civic Hall in Ellesmere Port (Dramania Extravaganza), 'Oxjam', a 'Live Earth' support evening a 'Make Poverty History' event, a 'Stop the Traffik' gig and many more! I love performing live!! Special moments would be... all of them!!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives artists more scope for opportunity but has negative effects on record sales.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes I think so, if I felt led to.
Band History:
I've always performed and I've had lots of training and experience. I now realise what it has all been for. My Vision is to reach the World with the Gospel through the songs God has given me to do so. Whereas it all used to be about me, and glorifying Ruth Pollard, God has completely turned that around, making me realise I can do NOTHING without Him. All that I am and all that I have is His. I want to help re-connect people with their Heavenly Father, give people Hope that there is another way, and show people that to have faith in God is NOT boring!!! How can it be when you are in a loving relationship with the Creator of Heaven and Earth??? Jesus came to Earth to pay the price for the mistakes we make. As soon as we acknowledge that and allow Him in to our lives EVERYTHING CHANGES!!! Not only are we forgiven, we are filled with peace and joy that is beyond any feeling this world could ever give us!!! We are also guided by the Holy Spirit. When Jesus went back to Heaven He left us the Holy Spirit to be our guide and comforter. We can be the people we were put on this Earth to be and believe me, coming from someone who has tried nearly every 'High' there is in my crazy past, I have never felt so AMAZING as I do now, as a result of putting my life in God's hands!!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!
Your influences?
I'm in to RnB, Pop, Soul, Hip Hop, Rap, funky house, dance, Inspirational music and I love listening to worship songs!!
Favorite spot?
Chester, sad but true! Home is where the heart is!!
Equipment used:
Neil Preston's endless instrumental talent in the production of our songs! When singing live; Moira Wright on keys (Moira also helps bring my songs alive by putting Chords to them), Phil Goss acoustic guitar and Ugo Eboh, Nick London or Heather Lannin on drums. Occasionally I use backing track.
Anything else...?
My best words of advice that I would give to anyone who is reading this would be to 'Pray!!' You've got nothing to lose and 'EVERYTHING TO GAIN!!' God is Real, and He Loves you and wants you to know it!!! Over and Out!!!
