Ruben lost his sight at age ten, gaining partial vision after surgery. Despite this, Ruben contributes to the lowrider community, a Latino cultural institution, by building one-of-a-kind chopper and lowrider bikes with support from his loving Mother and Uncle.
Ruben is quickly gaining a fan base in the low rider circuit. This hot up-and-comer is headed to Vegas later this year to show off his creations and rep the east coast!

Y tu, démon Verlaine– what are you proud of?
"Being brothers and best friends is something we are proud of, cuz, you know, we are family! We grew up proud of each other, and we grew prouder and prouder of what we could do together.
We are very proud of our first CD, Antesss, and each one of the songs we included in it. We definitely love what we do and we enjoy every bit of attention we get when we play or sing.
We are proud of our independence, which is many times difficult to preserve. We are proud of our beautiful mother tongue, Spanish, but we are equally as proud of being able to relate to people who speak other languages, people from all over the world... because we are not so different, you know!
We believe in diversity and we are proud of having traveled. We know that there's good and bad everywhere you go, and we are proud of our two homes, Buenos Aires, the city where we were all three born and raised, and New York, where some of us live and work."
