Ramsey

Browse piano sheets by Ramsey on Zen Virtual Piano. Ramsey is a singer-songwriter who produces her own music, and Flaunt describes her as a one-woman operation who taught herself to use Ableton. Ramsey told Flaunt that she wanted a masculine stage name, and that Ramsey was the name of someone who was once very dear to her. As a child she staged shows for her family, LA Weekly reports, and she was always into singing and performing, later joining the school choir and playing in bands in high school. Her childhood shows for her family and the Ableton skills she taught herself may suggest a performer who also built her own production craft. She graduated high school at 16. Before settling in Los Angeles, Ramsey spent time in Oregon, where she did college pre-recs and waited tables. Her first job in Los Angeles was stocking shelves at the Vons on Sunset and Hillhurst, a city where she knew nobody. Ableton reached her computer through a friend who uploaded a copy, and whenever she wasn't at Vons, her WeHo bedroom was where she made music, holing up for 16 hours a day. Arriving in Los Angeles without knowing anyone and the long hours in her WeHo bedroom may point to music-making as a largely solo activity. LA Weekly notes that her current output is as dark as it has ever been, and the blues has long been her thing: she cites Nina Simone and Janis Joplin among her influences. Much of it was inspired by a "typical unhealthy relationship" and its breakup. Asked about role models in Flaunt, Ramsey named Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, Gwen Stefani and Feist, and called Queens of the Stone Age one of her all-time favorite bands. Nina Simone appearing among both her blues influences and her role models may suggest a lasting reference point for Ramsey. Ramsey's full-length album, The Art of Survival, arrived in 2019, following several EPs. Her song "Love Surrounds You" got fans' attention in a high school drama, and My Imperfect Life reports that her work has appeared on Euphoria, Arcane and The Idol. She also has a spot on The Weeknd's track "Fill the Void" for the series. In the studio Ramsey makes every beat and every component of the music herself. Live, she concentrates on singing and performing, with a DJ and a drummer alongside. Her production of every beat and her live focus on singing with a DJ and a drummer may point to different roles in the studio and on stage. One way to hear this: a producer who taught herself Ableton is also a musician whose work has appeared on Euphoria, Arcane and The Idol.
