Ruth Mascelli

Ruth Mascelli is a talented musician hailing from New Orleans, best known as the keyboardist and vocalist for the punk/no wave band Special Interest, where they've helped shape the group's raw, energetic sound since its formation around 2015. With Special Interest, Ruth has contributed to albums like "The Passion Of" and "Endure," blending elements of industrial, glam, and queer punk that have earned the band a devoted following for their politically charged, high-octane performances.

As a solo artist, Ruth Mascelli dives into experimental electronic territory, creating atmospheric and introspective tracks that explore themes of healing, identity, and nightlife. Their debut solo album, "A Night at the Baths" (2020), draws inspiration from queer bathhouse culture and features dreamy, synth-driven soundscapes, followed by releases like "Non-Stop Healing Frequency" (2022) and "A Lover's Theory of Value" (2023), which continue to showcase their knack for blending ambient vibes with personal storytelling.
