Here is a brief bio and story taken from the official X Factor website:

AGE: 25
LOCATION: SURREY – ASHSTEAD
JOB:  PR CONSULTANT
MENTORED BY: DANNII MINOGUE

Ruth was born in the South East of Spain and when she screamed loudly during the birth, the doctors said she would be a singer.

At the age of one, Ruth loved the film Annie and would sing along in English, even though she had no idea what the words meant. Her mother nurtured Ruth’s love of music by playing music and dancing with her. Ruth was six when she first heard Monserat Caballet, an opera singer in Spain and she started to sing opera when her mother bought her Monserat’s album. Ruth imitated her vocals until she was pith perfect to the iconic Spanish opera singer.

At twelve years old, Ruth moved to America with her family and this was the first time Ruth had the opportunity to get involved with music at school. She took every music, theatre, dance and choir lesson going and all of her teachers encouraged Ruth, she was put into competitions and played lead roles in My Fair Lady and Phantom of the Opera. The family moved back to Spain when Ruth was 16 and although Ruth had some singing lessons by this point, she had to give them up due to the financial difficulties her family were having. Ruth gave up on her dream as it was becoming clear that it would never be something that would pay the bills.

Ruth was approached by a rock band when she was 19 this was a new challenge because she had only ever sung classical music. Ruth made the decision that she would give up her job at the family business and follow her dream once again. The band became very close as the toured Spain and Ruth stayed with them for 3 years. After playing countless hotels and bars the group decided to split up.

Ruth now dates the guitarist, Juanma and the duo landed a permanent contract for Polaris World where as well as performing, Ruth works as a PR consultant and Juanma is the Director of Entertainment.

All the way from Spain, Ruth Lorenzo has made it through to the final stages of bootcamp where she will be mentored by Dannii Minogue.  She impressed the judges in the first round going through to bootcamp where she once again she was put through although Simon wanted to see something “more Spanish”. In the 2nd round of Bootcamp she “Spanished” it up, mixing Spanish vocals with English ones, it was an impressive performance

We find out next week if she will be in the final live shows, we wish her good luck!

Vamos Ruth!
