It’s hard not to feel proud of my daughter’s musical journey!
Ariana is a drummer with Perth teen band The Ruby Keys, and last year while she was in the midst of her finishing year 12 as an ATAR student, they were selected as finalists for the 2024 Gozzy Rocks: Underground Sounds competition. They wrote 4 original songs to perform at the final, which took place on October 5th last year.
While they didn’t win, it was a huge achievement to write and perform 4 original songs. They did an amazing job! With the anniversary of that performance coming up, and The Ruby Keys having recently performed their last concert at high school (with the other members a year younger than Ariana), it’s been lovely to revisit the video.
