Jerry Rivera

Geraldo Rivera Rodriguez was born on July 31, 1973. Jerry is originally from Humacao, Puerto Rico, but he grew up in Levittown, near Toa Baja on the central northern coast of the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. Siblings include Saned, Edwin, Ito, and José, who all have careers in salsa (one of his brothers was with Puerto Rican Power). Edwin "Pino" Rivera, his father (a trio singer), made the demo tape when Jerry was just fourteen and a half years old. In an interview with Maria Conchita Alonso (for "Al día con Maria Conchita"), Jerry talks about how sure his father was that he would succeed. He and his father sing together in the trio songs "Entrega" and "Hiereme sin compasion" in the most recent production "De otra manera." Jerry is also accompanied by his father's trio in his latest CD "Jerry Rivera para siempre." Jerry's first CD, "Empezando a vivir" came out when he was only fifteen. In his ten year career, Jerry has compiled quite a resumé, not limited to the musical arena. Show less «
