What Makes Ruben Alive?
On Exeter's streets, meeting creative individuals often offers a fresh perspective on how art shapes our daily lives. In this feature, we speak with Ruben about his passion for music and how it fuels his sense of vitality.
For Ruben, music is woven into every aspect of his existence, serving as a powerful force that brings people together:
"Makes me feel alive, probably music... I love music, music in every aspect of my life... I love playing it, I feel it in my body when I listen to it & when I play it, and I feel like it groups people together in a way that nothing else really does."
Taking a grounded approach to life's journey, Ruben focuses on taking things as they come:
"I wouldn't say I'm too familiar with the struggles that I have overcome... I kind of just take life as I can."
Closing our conversation, Ruben shares a heartfelt message on compassion and community:
"Love each other more. There's no good in hate."
