Iroune Ruby

Iroune Rudaski (b. 19th August 1987), better known as her stage name Iroune Ruby is a Kuboian rapper and actress.

Early life
Iroune Rudaski was born in Jaillage, East Kuboia on 19th August 1987 to a Polish father and Spanish mother. Her first name was supposed to be spelt as Irune, meaning "trinity" in Basque, although a misspelling on her birth certificate caused an "o" to appear on her name, which her mother chose to keep. At the age of three, her her parents divorced and she and her mother moved to Fahrbahnin in North Kuboia. Her mother eventually found a new partner, and the two registered to have a custom-made house built for them and Rudaski, which was commonplace in Kuboia at the time.

As a pre-teen, Rudaski was a troublemaker, would often shoplift and sometimes get into fights. After getting "booted out" of her school age of fourteen, her mother took her to a doctor to discuss her anger issues and how to deal with them. Eventually, she befriended rapper GoGo Girl, whom inspired Rudaski to become a recording artist herself to keep her out of trouble.

Career
Rudaski garnered some media attention after her debut of providing uncredited background vocals on GoGo Girl's 2002 single "Can You Feel It?". Her debut mixtape, The Game, was released in November 2002, which was followed by another mixtape titled Underground Remixes in March 2003. The latter mixtape mostly featured tracks that heavily sampled eurodance and happy hardcore songs from the 1990s. Shortly after the release of Underground Remixes, Rudaski was signed to Hot Shot Records.

Musical style
A majority of Rudaski's catalogue features lipstick rap songs combined with elements of various electronic and dance genres, including eurodance and grime, with her songs often featuring instrumentals containing synthesisers and machine-like sounds. She explains that she likes her instrumentals to have a "dark, gritty but also very epic" vibe to them "as if they are telling a story", as she believes it helps her stand out from other similar artists.

Personal life
Rudaski originally wanted to be an actress and model growing up, claiming she idolised in Emily Merletta as a child. She cited Bumper's Block as "escapism" for her when dealing with difficult times. During her teenage years, Rudaski would secretly take alcohol despite her mother advising against it, though cites she never had a drinking problem.

In 2006, an eighteen year-old Rudaski gave birth to a baby boy after being stuck in labour for fifty-two hours. In a 2022 interview, she admitted that she was "never a thing" with her son's father but had remained on friendly terms with him.
