Speaking on social media, Ruby said, “A small project that I started with two of my friends, Flynn Francis and Tim Metcalfe. We are a group for everyone.
“I have songs that will not be released under the name Robbie Williams.”
This project will be far from his pop career as Ruby will be looking to take over empty warehouses so he can decorate them with his artwork, which he produced during the lockdown, and then get a rave.

Speaking on Instagram Live, he continued: “I’m going to do this thing with my friends. Form a band and what I will do is rent a venue and put my art in it.
“During the day it will be an exhibition. Then at night I will be a DJ and it will be a musical venue, which is something old people call a rave.
“I’ll be on an espresso. Oh yeah I will. Four espressos. Do it in the old school.”
Ruby is excited about his new direction, saying, “I’m very, very excited about it. I want to do it in Berlin.
“I also want to do this in Tokyo. I want to do it in many places. Be fun, right?”
“It’s one of those things, it’s a project of emotion. If something cool happened, that’s cool, if not, I just enjoyed it.”
