Early lifeWeyman was born on October 20, 1990 in Toronto, Ontario. She's a trained vocalist from Toronto's collegial Annex neighborhood.[1] As a child, Weyman developed appreciation for the sounds and styles of the past, including Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Prince and The Temptations.[2] Career2015–16: Early beginningsWeyman began writing and performing as Ralph a few years ago with a creative partner. According to her, it wasn't a productive relationship as she'd receive instrumental portions from him and have to write songs based on them: "I always felt it was a bit of a backseat project for a little while. I was interested in the project, and doing it with him, but I felt this disconnect because I wouldn't be writing the songs with him."[1] On May 1, 2015, she released her debut single "Trouble" with an accompanying video.[3] After she signed with 604 Records, Ralph started to feel more in control of her own music and began to write songs for her debut EP.[4] The song "Cold to the Touch" was released on May 25, 2016 as the lead single from the project.[5] Three months later, she released the second single "Something More" on August 3, which was inspired by Aziz Ansari's Netflix show Master of None.[6] The music video for the song premiered on October 7, becoming her first official video to be released on Vevo.[7] The third single "Busy Man" was released on October 24.[8] 2017–18: Ralph and A Good GirlOn February 14, 2017, Ralph announced the release of the EP's fourth single "Tease". The next day, on February 15, the song came out alongside a proper music video.[9] On the same day, the self-titled EP Ralph became available to pre-order on iTunes. The EP was officially released on March 3 containing all her previous singles, with the exception of "Trouble", plus two new songs, "Lit the Fire" and "Crocodile Tears",[10] the latter being the first song she wrote for the project.[1] A launch party for the EP was held on March 22 at Drake Underground in Toronto.[11] On May 17, the single "Cold to the Touch" received an official music video.[12] On June 28, Ralph released a cover of Candi Staton's song "Young Hearts Run Free" as a promotional single.[13] The singer has revealed she's been working on a full-length album, which she expects to be "bigger, better and more interesting, more surprising".[1] On October 6, 2017, she released "Screenplay", featuring the Canadian duo The Darcys, as a promotional single to support the tour they held together in November.[14] "September Fades", previously known as "Evergreen", was released on March 7, 2018 as the lead single from her upcoming debut album.[15] The music video for the song was filmed on October 18, 2017 and released on March 7, 2018. It was directed by Gemma Warren and it is mainly inspired by the American TV series Twink Peaks.[16] On May 2, 2018, Ralph released a second single titled "Girl Next Door", which features fellow Canadian rapper TOBi.[17] A music video for the single, directed by Ally Pankiw, premiered on July 4, 2018.[18] The third single, "Tables Have Turned", was released on July 18, 2018.[19] On August 22, the singer announced the release date of her debut studio album A Good Girl, which is scheduled to be released on September 28, 2018.[20] Along with the announcement, "Weather" was released as the fourth single from the album.[21] ArtistryRalph described her musical genre as a mixture between synth-pop, disco and smooth soul. She has mentioned Donna Summer, Cher, Stevie Nicks and Sade as her main influences.[22] According to her label 604 Records, the singer "blends funky 1970's bass with 1980's style pop keys, while staying contemporary through vocal melodies and fresh synth sounds". Her songwriting style is described as narrative, usually following themes of "jealousy, lust, deception and strength".[2] DiscographyStudio albums
