Why this name?
I used to go by another name (I care not reveal at this time). During a jam session with my cousin when I was about 20, I knew I needed a new name. We brainstormed, and he looked at a picture of a rifle hanging over his bed made by Ruger. So for a while I was Ruger. A few years later I modified the name to Rugah.
Do you play live?
Love to perform live. Have performed in Brooklyn, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Atlanta. I love the underground type setting. Had great reception to my performances at Morehouse College, Lizard Lounge, and Normanclature (now known as Whiskey Peach).
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has managed to capture a wider range of audience that would not even know of this had the internet not existed.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure. As long as they are not trying to f**k me.
Your influences?
From Bob Marley to Capelton, from Crazy to Bunji Garlin, I love all music and respect all artists talents. Without the variety of sounds, this would be a dull azz world
Favorite spot?
2 places. Wherever home is at the time, and in front of 1 to 1,000,000 people doing what I love.
Equipment used:
My vocals. I let the producers of my beats decide what they use
Anything else...?
Just want to let everyone who listens to my music know that I write all my lyrics. I prefer to have weak original lyrics from my head, than strong lyrics written by someone else. Please enjoy and comment if you can. RESPECT.
