Biography

Ruth Radelet (, born April 28, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter and musician. She is best known for her work as the lead vocalist in the electronic band Chromatics, formed in 2001. A native of Portland, Oregon, Radelet joined Chromatics in 2006 after the band relocated to Portland from Seattle, Washington. The band's first album to feature Radelet as vocalist and guitarist was their cult release Night Drive (2007), the record which marked a notable shift in their sound, incorporating elements of synth pop and post punk. Radelet appeared with Chromatics in the Showtime series revival of Twin Peaks (2017). In 2020, Ruth Radelet sang on the Chromatics remix of "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd. Additionally, in 2022, at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, it was revealed that The Weeknd used a sample of Radelet's voice while playing live. After Chromatics disbanded in 2021, Radelet released her debut solo EP “The Other Side,” listed as #9 in Gorilla vs. Bear’s top 30 EPs of 2022. She has released multiple singles, collaborated with numerous other artists, and most recently contributed to the Lost Records: Bloom & Rage original game soundtrack, along with former bandmates Adam Miller and Nat Walker.
