Ruby Fields is Ruby Phillips, a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Cronulla, New South Wales, who writes about ordinary life with a crooked grin and a guitar turned up way too loud. Her debut EP, Your Dad's Opinion for Dinner, landed in 2018 with singles like "I Want", "P Plates" and "Ritalin", and the loose, scrappy charm was there from the start.
"Dinosaurs" was the breakthrough, a slow-building, heart-on-sleeve singalong that ended up on her second EP, Permanent Hermit, in 2019, alongside "Climate" and "Trouble". Fuzzy guitars, a big, blunt chorus, and a voice that sounds like it's telling you the truth over a beer: that's the formula, and it works.
Her debut album, Been Doin' It for a Bit, came out in September 2021 and went straight to the top of the ARIA Albums Chart, with "Kitchen" and "Pretty Grim" keeping the rough edges intact. She has also tackled the Church's "The Unguarded Moment", and her second album, Small Achievements, followed in April 2026.
