Young musician releases single inspired by her cancer journey

Available for over a year

For many young musicians, they dream to release their own music and with the help of music streaming platforms, and even BBC Music Introducing, it enables them to reach a wider audience. Musician Ruby Walvin , 21, from Leicester was just 19 when she was diagnosed with leukaemia last year. During her gruelling treatment she became so distressed and weakened that she stopped singing and was unable to play the guitar. But now Ruby's released a new single called The Game, inspired by her journey in the last couple of years. It's even been made into a moving film, featuring her song, for charity Teenage Cancer Trust’s new Unstoppable campaign. Ruby spoke to BBC Radio Leicester's Jimmy Carpenter.
