Hello listeners!
Happy to be back and this week we had a conversation with Ruben Torres!
Ruben is a San Diego native deeply rooted in the Southern California's culture and lifestyle. Ruben started off his career as a musical performer and songwriter.
Ruben emerged into the business side of the music industry by sphere-heading the independent record label RESCUE RECORDS for rock band P.O.D., where he learned all aspects of the record industry.
In 2010 “Connected with Ruben Torres” was launched, which started the hype of directing, producing and shooting music videos and hosting an online cultural and lifestyle YOUTUBE TV show in which he has interviews with the Likes of Cheech Marin and clips with Musicians like P.O.D. and Snoop Dogg.
Realizing the attention and responsibility with branding a name within the community Ruben used his influence to help launch community charity events as well as his international Christmas-time toy drive “Love Thy Neighbor” for kids and families in Tijuana Mexico. These events sparked the idea to turn the LOVE THY NEIGHBOR MOVEMENT into a non-profit organization and since 2010 has been working on humanitarian efforts on both sides of the border.
Ruben has become a positive figure within San Diego / Tijuana and because of all of his efforts to help, Ruben has gained a foothold, within the Latino community as a cultural architect to empower and capture the minds & hearts of the community through visions of hope by inspiring and motivating others to pursue and fulfill their dreams.
