With a musical palette that spans the globe and draws on Latin, Caribbean, African, jazz, and contemporary influences, Rubim blends improvisation with forward-looking traditionalism. His distinctive sound and style as a bassist and composer have earned him acclaim, making him a standout figure in the Western Canadian music scene.

In a notable 2021 milestone, Rubim won the Western Canadian Music Award (WCMA) for Instrumental Artist of the Year, adding to his impressive accolades, including a previous WCMA Jazz Artist of the Year win in 2018. That same year, he was nominated for Global Artist of the Year, a testament to the universality of his musical voice. In 2024, Rubim has been nominated again for two WCMA awards.
