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.

No estaba donde siempre habían dicho
Yo me lo imaginaba tan remoto
Y estaba justo aquí frente a mis ojos
Eres como un ángel
Que cayó del cielo
Eres lo más cerca a lo perfecto
Si tu belleza yo fuera a medir
Yo le daría un diez (10) sin discutir
Si bella eres por fuera igual por dentro
Si tu sonrisa fuera un comercial
Lo que tu anuncies yo voy a comprar
Tu boca es tentación para mis besos
Por eso estoy contigo AJA! (bis)
Por eso y mil razones que no digo
Por eso estoy contigo mujer
Por eso estoy contigo mi bien
Por eso y mil razones que no digo
AJA!

El día que tus padres te crearon
Se nota que esa noche se pasaron
Y todos los planetas se alinearon
Para participar en el milagro
Eres como un ángel
Que cayó del cielo
Eres lo más cerca a lo perfecto
Si tu belleza yo fuera a medir
Yo le daría un diez (10) sin discutir
Si bella eres por fuera igual por dentro
Si tu sonrisa fuera un comercial
Lo que tu anuncies yo voy a comprar
Tu boca es tentación para mis besos
Por eso estoy contigo AJA! (bis)
Por eso y mil razones que no digo
Por eso estoy contigo mujer
Por eso estoy contigo mi bien

Por eso y por mil razones
Contigo quiero vivir
Ahora sé que existe el paraíso
No sabía que estaba justo aquí
Cielo, porque tú eres tan hermosa y tan sensual, que más puedo yo pedir.
Aytus ojos, tu cadera, tu mirar, tu cintura, pero todo lo demás no puedo decir

Eres como un ángel
Que el corazón me hace vibrar
Que cayó del cielo
Y siento que en tus ojos bellos me pierdo
Eres como un ángel
Que me tiene soñando despierto y no puedo evitar
Que cayó del cielo
Es tentación para mis besos
Ajafenomenal
Eres como un ángel
Por eso estoy contigo no me vayas a dejar
Que cayó del cielo
Como encuentro a otra mujer como tu cómo la invento
Eres como un ángel
Eres como un ángel corazón que quiero contemplar
Que cayó del cielo
Contemplar por siempre mi amor porque te quiero
POR ESO ESTOY CONTIGO
The lyrics of Rey Ruiz's song "Por Eso Estoy Contigo" express the singer's admiration and love for his partner, whom he considers to be a heavenly being.

In the second stanza, he praises his partner's parents for creating such a miraculous being, with all the planets aligning to participate in it.
