With this band he recorded his first song Salsa Buena (Good Salsa). In 1976, Ruiz moved to Mayag??ez, Puerto Rico with his mother after his parents divorced. In Puerto Rico, Ruiz became a fan of a salsa band called La Solucion, directed by Roberto Rivera and learned all of their songs. He attended every concert and show.
