Also in 2016 he brought out the single 'Nu of Nooit',[6] together with rapper Johnna Fraser and DJ and vlogger Monica Geuze and wrote the Dutch themesong for Angry Birds: The Movie.[7]

In the end of August 2019, Ruben appeared in the Dutch TV program Beste Zangers[11]and in early 2020 he played at Eurosonic Noorderslag. This performance was the startingpoint of a clubtour crossing through the Netherlands.[12] Unfortunately this tour was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. From that point on Ruben focused on creating new songs, of which he released 'Papa'[13] and 'Dat Het Morgen Lukt'[14] for the multiple champion paralympic snowboarder Bibian Mentel who was fighting cancer. His clubtour recommenced in October 2021.
