Ruben Coca Music

Introduction: My musical journey began with a deep-seated passion for jazz and Latin jazz, genres that not only resonate with my soul but also define my career. As a New York-based musician specializing in these vibrant styles, I have honed my skills to bring my best self to every stage and recording session. From the prestigious Puerto Rico Conservatory to performances across Mexico, New York City, the United States, and even Europe and South America, my path has been one of continuous growth and exploration. Music, to me, extends past genre. It's a universal language that speaks to everyone, transcending the barriers of culture. My proficiency extends beyond the drum set, my primary instrument, to encompass a variety of percussive tools such as timbales and congas. This versatility stems from an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and an authentic approach to each style of music I embrace. By understanding the subtleties and nuances of multiple musical genres, I have developed a unique style that resonates with a diverse audience. As a musical educator, I am committed to adapting to the needs and goals of each student, ensuring that learning is not just informative but also enjoyable. Whether it's delving into of jazz, latin music, rock, or pop I strive to give my students a well-informed and authentic understanding of the music and playing style they want to study. My career has been a testament to the belief that music is for everyone. It's a journey of constant learning and sharing, and I am thrilled to pass on my knowledge and passion to those eager to embark on their own musical adventure.
