Ruben Engel


Ruben Engel (born on September 22, 2003, in Amsterdam) is a versatile music producer, composer, and R&B singer. With a strong background in production and songwriting, he has developed into a unique artist who stands out with his distinctive sound. Additionally, he is a gifted multi-instrumentalist, with guitar and piano as his primary instruments.

Music has always played a central role in Ruben Engel’s life. From a young age, he became fascinated by melodies and harmonies, which drove him to start making music himself. His talent and dedication led him to the prestigious Herman Brood Academy in 2020, where he further developed his production and composition skills. In 2023, he successfully completed his studies, ready to take his career to the next level.

After graduating, Ruben decided to broaden his musical horizons and went to Los Angeles for the 4th time in 2024, this time for a specialized course in mixing and mastering. This period proved crucial for his artistic development. Not only did he perfect his technical skills, but he also had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned artists such as Breez Kennedy, Bryant Barnes, Asia Holiday, and others. The energy and creativity of the American music industry left a lasting impression on him and fundamentally influenced his approach to music.

In addition to his work as an artist, Ruben has also proven himself as a talented producer in the Netherlands. His productions carry a distinctive finesse, and his sound can be heard with various artists within the Dutch music scene. He has worked with established names such as Adje, Rotjoch, Gianski, Yurmaine, Lijpe, Oykie, Young Ellens, Dani Deaux, Emma Heesters, and others. His style is innovative and fresh, with influences that extend beyond the Dutch music culture.

Over the past six months, Ruben has fully immersed himself in his own music. He has worked passionately on an album composed entirely of his own compositions. This project is not only an artistic expression but also a statement of his independence: he is releasing the album independently. With this work, he introduces an innovative, international R&B sound that is still relatively rare in the Netherlands. His music combines refined melodies with profound lyrics and innovative flows, bridging the gap between the Dutch and international R&B scenes.

With his unique style, perseverance, and wide-ranging musical skills, Ruben Engel is well on his way to becoming a prominent name in the music world. Whether as a producer, composer, or singer, his work reflects a deep love for music and a constant drive for innovation. With his upcoming album and the impact he has already made, it is only a matter of time before he receives recognition in the Netherlands as one of the most promising artists in contemporary R&B.
