Grammy nominated Irish artist RuthAnne has lifted the lid on her upcoming book, and why it's the perfect read for aspiring songwriters and musicians.
The singer-songwriter is behind some of the biggest hits around, including; Britney Spears' Work B*tch; In the Name of Love by Bebe Rexha and Martin Garrix and Niall Horan's Slow Hands.
RuthAnne is also a singer in her own right, with her song The Vow, having a number of viral moments of video-sharing platform, TikTok.

On Wednesday, the Dublin native is hosting a one-hour live stream alongside KiD RAiN via TikTok where she will give budding songwriters a glimpse inside the mechanics of creating a song.
Speaking about the initiative, which is part of TikTok's Summer Skills campaign, RuthAnne said she also loved helping the next generation.
'Anyway I can help with that I love to do it,' she told Extra.ie, 'I love helping young creatives.' View this post on Instagram

The live-stream comes following a new platform, TikTok for Artists, which gives artists and their teams insight into how their music is performing on the app.
With The Vow, going viral time and again on the app, she admitted it was 'an amazing marketing tool.'
The song is regularly used over videos of pregnancies; birth announcements; engagements and weddings. In 2023, RuthAnne sang The Vow in Ibiza when Tommy Fury proposed to his Love Island partner, Molly Mae Hague. Pic: RuthAnne/Instagram

'Every artist understands how massive the influence TikTok can have and the impact that a song going viral can have,' she said, 'Anyone who wants to be in music would be a fool for not putting your music there.'
Following on from the TikTok masterclass, RuthAnne advised aspiring songwriters to pre-order her book. @thisisruthanne Two months til my album is yours ❤️ #newmusic #songofthesummer #songwriter #singer #album ♬ original sound – RuthAnne
'It's the book that I wish I had,' she told Extra.ie, 'It's the book that I had to go through the industry for the last two decades in order to gather up this knowledge and I feel like literally anything I say in the book, no matter what level of songwriting or creating you're at, my book goes into every single thing that you need to know about writing hit songs.
She added that the book delves into the importance of honing your song-writing skills so when an opportunity comes up 'you can take them and run with them.'
While RuthAnne is looking forward to the release of her debut book, she is also counting down the days until her debut album, which is set for release on October 15.
'I'm really excited,' RuthAnne gushed, 'I'm dropping a new song every four weeks [and] I'm doing a headline show at Sugarclub on October 15.'
'I do have songs coming out with other artists but I can't reveal them yet; I can never reveal that before the artist does,' she teased.
RuthAnne will be going live on her TikTok account from 5pm to 6pm on Wednesday, August 20 for a free songwriting skills masterclass with KiD RAiN.
