Rey Ruiz performed in the well known "Cabaret Tropicana" music group. During a Cabaret Tropicana tour in the Dominican Republic, Ruiz defected, leaving the group to join some friends in the United States. With the help of his aunt, Martina, he was able to reach Miami, FL. He owes his life in the US to his aunt and it is in Miami, where he found success. Once established there, Ruiz began to gain fame as a solo salsa singer.
It took Ruiz three years after he arrived in the United States for him to release his first CD. The self-titled "Rey Ruiz" was produced by Sony Records and it earned Ruiz celebrity in such places as Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Venezuela. The album also earned Ruiz a number of billboard and Premios Lo Nuestro awards, and it was a platinum album. Rey Ruiz was named the "salsa singer of the year" for 1993 by a prestigious salsa music magazine.
Ruiz's initial success as a singer translated into small screen success as well, as he was hired by Pepsi, Miller beer and his studio company, Sony, to film commercials announcing their brand. Ruiz's second album was a various artists' compillation dedicated to salsa singers from the 1960s and 1970s. The tribute album was named "Los Soneros de Hoy". loosely translated into "Today's (salsa) performers".
Also in 1993, Ruiz released his second album. "Mi Media Mitad" ("My Other Half") was a large hit in the United States and in Europe, once again, making the Billboard hits list in the States, and topping the European charts. "Mi Media Mitad" became Ruiz's second consecutive platinum album, and it helped make Ruiz popular in Colombia as well, with a single, "Si te Preguntan" ("If They Ask You") becoming a major hit song. Soon after that album's release, Ruiz made his debut at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Ruiz's third album, "En Cuerpo y Alma" ("Body and Soul"), was released in 1995. This was Ruiz's third platinum album in a row; his songs "Estamos Solos" ("We Are Alone") and "Vuelve de Nuevo Conmigo" ("Return Once Again With Me") were international hits, and many salsa experts consider this album to be Ruiz's most important release.
In 1996, with the collaboration of famed Colombian songwriter Omar Estefano and of Ricardo Quijano, Ruiz released his fourth consecutive platinum album, named "Destino" ("Destiny"). One of the most publicly acclaimed songs in that album was "Miénteme Otra Vez" ("Lie to me Again").
His next album, 1997's "Porque es Amor' ("Because it is Love") failed to have the commercial success Ruiz's four previous releases had, ending Ruiz's streak of platinum albums at four. It did, however, contain three major hit songs, including the title song, as well as "Mi Angel" ("My Angel") and "Tú no Sabes" ("You Don't Know").
In 1998, Ruiz released a greatest hits CD, named "Exitos del Rey" ("Rey's Hits", a name which can also be interpreted as "The King's hits", since Rey means king in Spanish). By then, Ruiz owned a recording company; his next album, "Ya Ves Quien Soy" ("Now You See Who I Am"), becoming one of the first CD's to be released by Ruiz's Luna Negra ("Black Moon") record label. Years earlier, Ruiz incorporated his production company in Puerto Rico, by the same name, Luna Negra productions, with the help of his ex-fiance (former Sony Music A&R rep) and then business manager.
"Ya Ves Quien Soy" was another commercial success for Ruiz, particularly in Brazil. Ruiz collaborated with Brazilian singer José Augusto in this album, when the pair recorded a duet song, "Siempre Mía" ("Always Mine").
In 2000, Ruiz joined the Bohemia Records label, releasing "Fenomenal" ("Phenomenal") under that label. In 2004, he released Mi Tentacion.

Rey Ruiz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
dibuja caricias en mi piel dejando su huella
sola desnuda la noche
de aquellos secreto s que al amar en silencio esconde
Ella con solo mirarme
consigue de mi lo que quiera sin yo poder escaparme
suave, sin prisa ni temor se entrega sin condicion
coro
Ella me enseño lo que es el amor
me llevo en un beso a otra dimension
y me ha transportado en el tiempo
mas alla del mismo universo
Ella es el latido del corazon
su inocencia es toda provocacion
ella es una estrella en el cielo
es por quien yo vivo y muero
Ella con una sonrisa
recorre mi cuerpo
y ala vez mi mente hipnotiza
supo cambiar los colores
que daban al mundo un tono gris
borro mis temores
ella con solo mirarme
consigue d emi lo que quiera sin yo poder escaparme
suave sin prisa ni temor
se entrega sin condicion
coro
(Ella es por quien yo vivo y muero... solo ella) ella con manos de seda dejo en mi cuerpo su huella
(Ella es por quien yo vivo y muero... solo ella) me quema la piel, llego a creer que hasta el cielo me eleva
(Ella es por quien yo vivo y muero)no hay otra (solo ella)no, nadie me hace sentir lo que yo siento por ella
(Ella es por quien yo vivo y muero... solo ella) ella con solo mirarme logra de mi lo que quiera
(Ella es por quien yo vivo y muero) es mi amor (solo ella)ella es todo lo que yo soñe, mi vida entera
The lyrics to Rey Ruiz's song "Ella" describe a woman who has the power to captivate and enthrall the singer. She has hands of silk that leave their mark on his skin, and with just one look, she can make him do whatever she wants. Despite this power she holds over him, she gives herself to him freely and without reservation. Through her love, she takes him into another dimension and beyond the universe. Her innocence is both alluring and provocative, and she is the very beat of his heart. She has changed the colors of his world and erased his fears. The singer has deep feelings of love and loyalty for this woman, and states that she is the reason he lives and dies.
