Sam Rivera is a singer/songwriter from Portland, OR. At his lowest point, when he was about to end his life, he saw a piano, sat down and began singing. That moment transformed everything. Music instantly became a place where he could escape from anxiety, depression, drug use, and cutting. His tattooed arms paint the picture of a previous life, not one you would expect from a pastor’s kid who grew up in church. He’s now creating his own sound, drawing inspiration from his story, his Salvadoran heritage, and today’s pop influences. His authentic, raw releases across platforms have built connections with a community of creators on YouTube, TikTok and beyond. Now that his songs and stories are resonating with others, he hopes listeners will find hope - as he did.
