As a teenager Ruben was already performing with local bands and writing songs for high school festivals so at the age of 13 he had his first appearance on TV, at this point his preference for the pop/ballad and such music styles was already obvious.
After finishing high school in 1996 Ruben moved to Boston, USA to continue his songwriting and music production studies then he moved to Los Angeles to keep learning and gaining some practical experience.
