Spookey Ruben is an internationally recognized Canadian pop musician, composer and video director. He is highly regarded as a pioneer on the Canadian Alternative music scene. His successes began in the mid-nineties with many of his self-directed VideoFACT funded videos making it into high rotation on MuchMusic and MTV. Modes of Transportation Vol. 1' (TVT Records) Spookey's 'home-made, playing all instruments' debut album shot to the top of music critics top ten lists catapulting him into world-wide acclaim as a 'mad-genius' songwriter/producer in the league of Brian Wilson, Todd Rundgren and Thomas Dolby.
His strong live performances both w/ band and solo-acoustic have taken him around the world (USA, Europe and Japan) sharing the stage with likes of The Flaming Lips and Ben Folds Five. More recently Spookey has become staff composer at L.A. based music house Stimmüng and is also represented as a Film/TV composer by Arpix in Canada.
With the launch of 'Spookey Ruben's Dizzy Playground' (Divine Cardboard/Hi-Hat Films) a short film series which airs online at exclaim.ca + AUX.TV Spookey has created a special place for him to stretch his imagination with music, humour and fantasy. Guest starring in his shorts are notable musicians such as Brendan Canning (Broken Social Scene), John McEntire (Tortoise/The Sea and Cake) and Melissa Auf Der Maur (Hole, Smashing Pumpkins). Upcoming episodes incl. Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) and Leslie Feist (Feist). His newest album 'Mechanical Royalty' (Hi-Hat/Sonic Unyon) was just released in conjunction with a successful Cross Canada Tour in June 2009.
