Ruut was destined to become a singer/songwriter.

One of four daughters born in Finland to parents who were classical musicians, Ruut DeMeo — who goes professionally by her first name, Finnish for Ruth, pronounced “Root” — spent her childhood in a house filled with music. When she went to the opera, she often saw a production composed by her grandfather, renowned composer Aulis Sallinen.

Now living in North County and the married mother of two daughters, Ruut, 33, recently released her third full-length CD, “Glimpse,” which features 10 songs she wrote and recorded at Baltimore recording studio The Wood and Stone Room. Ruut plays piano in each song.

“I have a sign in my writing room at home that is really my motto,” Ruut said recently. “It says, ‘If you don’t build your dream, someone will hire you to build theirs.’ I wrote my first song as a 7-year-old, and today, I like to think of myself as an authentic artist.”
