Ruelle

Ruelle is an expressive pop artist whose stirring and atmospheric ballads, whether framed with only somber piano or more complex productions full of crashing drums and theatrical strings, have been utilized across dozens of dramatic television series and film trailers. The singer/songwriter born Maggie Eckford recorded a couple indie pop albums in the early 2010s before she found her cinematic niche with licensed and purpose-written material alike. She landed her first placements just before releasing Up in Flames (2015), her first EP, with "Until We Go Down" alone heard in Sleepy Hallow, The Shannara Chronicles, and Wynnona Earp, among several other series and reality competition shows. Due in large part to placements on Shadowhunters ("Fire Meets Fate") and Grey's Anatomy ("Carry You"), Ruelle was named Tunefind's Top Artist of 2018. Her subsequent releases include the EPs Earth Glow (2019), Exodus (also 2019), and Somebody Else (2022), and numerous singles such as "Yes We Can" (2023) and "Conquer" (2024). Raised in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Maggie Eckford got her start as an indie pop artist with two albums credited to her birth name: For What It's Worth (2010) and Show and Tell (2012). After the release of the latter, Eckford relocated to Nashville to further her songwriting career. Going back to her love for musicals and movies that shaped her early listening and education, Eckford changed course with emphasis on ballads with dramatic and cinematic qualities. In 2014, her songs "Up in Flames" and "Fear on Fire" were placed in episodes of Reckless and Revenge. Early the following year, she released her debut EP as Ruelle, Up in Flames, featuring both of those songs as well as "War of Hearts" and "Until We Go Down," a pair that would eventually combine for well over a dozen placements in series such as Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments, Sleepy Hallow, The Shannara Chronicles, Wynonna Earp, and the U.S. and U.K. versions of Love Island.
