Puerto Vallarta’s own talented musician and composer, Ruben Perez, is celebrating the release of his latest single, The Light, which was released on September 25, 2025. This deeply soulful track, which explores the honest emotions of lost love, showcases Perez’s considerable skills as both a writer and performer.
Perez, a Mexican guitarist and composer with a great love for both music and technology, has a fascinating journey in the world of music. His passion for expression initially began with simple written phrases, but it ultimately found its true voice when he picked up the guitar. This instrument became a “life partner” that gave his creative aspirations greater meaning.
For many years, Perez was a fixture on the Puerto Vallarta music scene. He worked as a professional musician, performing in cover bands across various genres, always injecting his own distinctive style into every song. For over a decade, his guitar skills graced countless local restaurants, bars, hotels, and festivals.
An artistic change came in 2008 when Perez made the pivotal decision to step back from the demanding life of a full-time performing musician. Instead, he chose to dedicate his energy to writing and composing his own music. This shift allowed him to truly explore his inner thoughts and dreams, creating music that is honest and straight from the heart.
While he no longer plays professionally full-time, Perez’s love for music remains strong. He continues to sing and play guitar on all his compositions, infusing each piece with his soulful voice and instrumental mastery. The Light is a shining example of his commitment to crafting emotionally resonant music.
Fans can listen to “The Light” on major platforms, including YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music. To explore more songs written, composed, and performed by this gifted local artist, or to learn more about his work, you can visit rubenperez.rocks or follow Ruben Perez Music on Facebook.
