Pablo Maxiliano Miguel Coronel Vidoz, also known as Pablito Ruiz and, later, Pablo Ruiz,[1] born on September 4, 1975 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[2] Besides being a singer, he is an actor and dancer. In 1989, when just 14 years old, he came to prominence with songs like "Proud Girl", "Lady Lady", "Linda",[1] and his cover of Oh Mama,[4] originally recorded by the band Selena y Los Dinos.

After Ricky Martin came out at the end of March 2010,[5][6] Ruiz claimed in a TV interview with Viviana Canosa to have kissed Martin at a party in Mexico when he was 17 and Martin was around 22. Martin was working on the TV show Muñecos de Papel in Mexico at the time.[4][7] Terra.com, who described Ruiz as "barely known", branded his claim as "[trying] to bank on Ricky's fame".[8] LatinGossip.com said that Ruiz was "only trying to get some attention and ride on Ricky’s coattails" as there was "no other reason to share this".[9] FameWired.com predicted that "many more people like Pablo Ruiz will come forward in the future claiming that they kissed or had a sexual encounter with Martin in hopes of enjoying perhaps 15 minutes of fame".[4]

Has sold more than 4 million albums.
