Ruby Roxx

Social Influencer & Creative Rep

This is Jenn, but you may know her online as Ruby Roxx! She has been a professional model for nearly 20 years, and an online content creator/influencer for over a decade now. Throughout her career, she recalls finding it hard to find social media representation that was both supportive of her and her creative vision and also offered a non-exclusive contract and a fair commission split. So she has joined forces with Ignite Artists to bring experience, expertise, and passion to the Ignite team, and to support Creatives & Influencers careers and goals by helping them find work and campaigns that are on brand, uplift their individual voice, and let their creativity shine. We are so excited to have her as a part of the Ignite team, as the world of television and influencers continue to merge to open new doors in this ever-changing world! Welcome Jenn!

Background Performer Booker

Maude’s professional musician mother instilled an appreciation for the arts and stage performance. In her early years, Maude was a musician whose bands had the honor of performing in the 2010 Olympics ceremonies, at Canucks hockey games, and in Disneyland, California.
