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. She also trained in Music Production and DJing in Los Angeles, further expanding her expertise in the industry.

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. Her recognition was driven by her inspiring advocacy to preserve the local languages of Northern Philippines—including Ibanag, Itawes, Ilocano, and Pangasinan—through music, while successfully bringing these rich cultural narratives to the international music scene.

Now, she has launched her online music education eBook store, Northern Root Global Music Academy, where she shares her invaluable knowledge of the music business. Her eBooks & courses cover essential topics such as music distribution, artist management, independent record label start-up, music agreements and contracts, music production, sound design, mixing/mastering and audio engineering. Through this platform, she empowers aspiring artists and music entrepreneurs with the insights and strategies needed to succeed in the industry.
