“If there’s one person I trust the most with my music, it’s gotta be Doc Ruth Lee Resuello. She’s the reason why my song “Sinta” went viral, now with 16 million streams on Spotify. Because of her management, I got the chance to sign with one of the major record labels in the world. If you want fast results in your music distribution journey, listen to her and just do it!”

Karlo, Singer/Songwriter of CLUBS (Philippines)

About the Founder

Dr. Ruth Lee Resuello, RPh, PharmD is the Founder and CEO of Northern Root Records, a current Warner Music distribution and publishing affiliate (2022–present). She currently manages 25 artists worldwide and brings 15 years of experience as a multi-instrumentalist, recording engineer, music producer, mixing & mastering engineer, talent manager, and A&R manager/director.

As the head music coach at Northern Root Music Center, she has trained and mentored hundreds of students. A passionate philanthropist, she personally provides free music lessons to selected elementary schools in her province and donates musical instruments to nurture the talents of aspiring and deserving young musicians. She donated 100% of proceeds of her album sales to support disaster relief efforts, providing aid to those affected by calamities. One example is her Anthem of Hope album, which helped raise funds for those in need during the pandemic (raising almost half a million pesos).

In 2024, Dr. Ruth Lee Resuello was honored as one of the Top 10 Most Outstanding and Most Distinguished Women of Cagayan Valley (Region 2), receiving the prestigious IDDU Award in the Culture & Arts Category from the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) – Region 2.
