Artist History Reuben a.k.a. Blastique was born in 1982 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He lived in Shewsbury, England between '85 - '87 and then returned to KL. He came to Perth in '95 to study, and he is now currently at UWA (University of Western Australia). Bought up with a strong "Classical" music background since the age of 4, he picked up the violin at the age of 4.5, and piano at 5 years of age. He is still keeping up the violin while his "piano" skills have made the shift to the "keyboard" environment. Blastique first started out with producing when he recieved his first keyboard in December last year. It is only since Mid - 2001 that his sound started to evolve.
