She has been destined to be in the spotlight. By the age of 15, it was undeniable that Rebekah possessed a unique gift: her vocal range and raw, natural talent shown through at local venues. Shortly thereafter, Ruiz moved to California, where her dream of performing jazz for a broader audience came true. Rebekah has since been performing consistently at jazz clubs and local restaurants in the Sacramento area. She went on to perform in the Sacramento Jazz Festival and Jubilee for a several years.

Directed by Lina Koutrakos and with Music Direction by Rick Jensen, this is an amazing ride. Woodruff is a versatile cabaret and jazz singer, director, writer and vocal coach. He has treaded the boards from the East to West Coasts with stops in Las Vegas, Dallas, Nashville and New Orleans. He has been fortunate to perform for audiences in London, Paris, Berlin and down to Rio de Janiero. In New York, he has appeared at Joe's Pub, 54 Below, Don't Tell Mama, The Duplex and his successful shows "I Believe in Love" and "Standard Time" at the Metropolitan Room. His singing career started at a young age with an influence from his maternal grandmother, who appeared in revues on the New York stage and taught him to sing great tunes.
