Ruby Rose has made her mark as a successful DJ, but now she’s taking on the next stage of her career making her own music.

Fresh off her support slot for Nicki Minaj, Rose sat own with OUTinPerth to talk about her latest project.

Teaming up with For Rose releasing her first single Guilty Pleasures occurred ‘illegally fast’ according to the star, but organically,

‘Usually with music you write a song, you record it, then you’ve got to get everyone to work out when you’re going to release it, promo, press kits… I was just like “let’s release it!”, and they’re like “no no there’s a formulation, we have to let people know you have a song, we have to let radio know”, and I’m like, “just put it out there! It is coming out this year and that’s the end of the story”.

Alongside releasing the record spontaneously, Rose and collaborator Gary Go also shot a video to accompany the song.

‘So we shot the film clip in London and packaged it up and went there it is and put it out there and that’s how it came about,’ said Rose, ‘with that recording we didn’t even do it in a fancy studio we just wanted to keep it natural and as raw as possible.’
