Aruba Red (born Natascha Eleonoré Bruce) is a London-based alt-soul and trip-hop musician named after a female pirate legend (which was invented by the Anheuser-Busch company, which gave the name to a beer).[1][2] She has described her sound as "alternative soul music centered around themes of transformation and healing, influenced by trip hop, minimalist electronica, glitch, soul, acoustic folk, and dub".[3]
