Rising pop stars Ruby and Lola Walsh have opened up about their father’s influence on their careers. Their comments have reignited talk about “nepo babies” in the music industry.
A Musical Upbringing
The sisters grew up surrounded by music. Their father is a professional musician. He taught them instruments and encouraged singing from a young age. Family jam sessions were a regular part of life.
Ruby and Lola say their dad never pushed them into performing. He encouraged creativity and discipline. They credit him with sparking their love of music.

Addressing the ‘Nepo Baby’ Label
The Walsh sisters have been called “nepo babies” by some fans. This term describes artists whose family connections helped them start their careers.
Ruby said: “We are grateful for what our dad gave us. But we’ve worked hard to get where we are.”
Lola added: “Labels like ‘nepo baby’ can make it seem easier than it really is. We’ve faced long nights, rejection, and nerves before every performance.”
Breaking Out on Their Own
Since their breakthrough single last summer, the sisters have built a growing fanbase. Their live shows and festival appearances have sold out.
Industry insiders say family connections can open a door. But the sisters’ rise is powered by their talent and work ethic.
Family Support, Not Control
The Walsh sisters say their dad supports but does not control their career. He gives feedback when asked. He celebrates their success but lets them make their own creative choices.
Ruby said: “We’re grateful he taught us how to play and write. But we’re building our own story.”
Inspiring Young Artists
The sisters hope their journey inspires others. They emphasise talent and hard work over privilege.
Their story is a reminder: family support can help. But success still requires effort, determination, and resilience.
