A new canvas for expression

In 2025, Reuben will continue to enchant audiences aboard various international cruise lines with his captivating shows: "The Sheer Talent of Reuben Laurente," scripted by the late Philippine arts champion Floy Quintos, and "Music Beyond Borders", from the script of former coCompanY member, Andre Castillo. These performances aboard Norwegian Cruise Lines' SKY, SUN, and SPIRIT in February, April, July, and November promise an unforgettable celebration of music that transcends boundaries. Reuben's ability to traverse diverse genres and vocal styles offers audiences an immersive experience, inviting them to partake in a rich tapestry of sound and emotion.

Artistic growth and community involvement 

November 2024 marked a milestone as Reuben showcased his talents, being a singer/painter at the Pinoy Playlist Music Festival, an event celebrating Original Pilipino Music (OPM). In 2025, he will continue to record for digital platforms under GRMilestone Music and FEBC/PAPURI! He is also set to release his final two Christmas singles for Evosound Philippines and work on a special project featuring Filipino vocalists celebrating the nation's cultural heritage.

Alongside his musical pursuits, Reuben's visual artistry has garnered attention. His piece "Pasko Na" was displayed at the "Spirit of Thanksgiving" exhibit at the SEAMEO INNOTECH gallery in December 2024, affirming his place in the art community. Having launched his visual career with his solo exhibit "Pilipino Ako, Ito Ang Aking Lahi" in 2023, Reuben is now preparing for a visual and fashion exhibit slated for later this year.

Looking ahead 

As he looks forward, Reuben remains committed to expanding his artistic horizons. He will reunite with The CompanY for their 40th-anniversary celebration in June 2025, reflecting on his legacy with the group that helped shape his early career. Through all his achievements, Reuben views his journey as a testament to divine purpose, using his platform to inspire others and embody the spirit of a proud Filipino artist.
