It’s kinda chic to… 🎙️💋

It’s kinda chic to jump on this trend a little late… jazz diva edition! 🎙️💋

As I looked back through the photographs for this post, I realised just how many moments that once felt like huge dreams have somehow become part of my everyday life.

It’s kinda chic to…

Launch your own band and business at 22 💋

Sell out your first full weekend at a London jazz club at 23 💋

Sing regularly with a full big band 💋

Perform at destination weddings abroad 💋

Have a residency underneath the National Portrait Gallery 💋

Perform Upstairs at Ronnie Scott’s 💋

Celebrate your clients’ milestone birthdays 💋

Collaborate with your favourite vintage reproduction brand 💋

Say “my band” in normal conversation 💋

Make a living singing songs written nearly 100 years ago 💋

Know your value — and charge accordingly 💋

Keep pushing yourself outside your comfort zone 💋

Turn 30 in true 1930s style 💋

Prioritise rest 💋

Do things that restore your soul 💋

And, perhaps most importantly, build a career entirely around doing what you love. 💋

There have been plenty of twists, turns, risks, lessons and moments of wondering what on earth I’m doing along the way. But looking back at these little snapshots reminds me just how much has happened since I first decided to build Ruby Robinson Music.

…and there is still so much I want to do.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🎙️✨
