We had the good fortune of connecting with Fehr Rivas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Fehr, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I think the biggest factor in my success has been being true to myself. Showing who I am thru my music has always been my greater asset.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

It was not easy at all to have a place in the music industry. I believe that one of my greatest virtues is perseverance and passion. I Created one new musical genre, which I named ROCKMÁNTICO, merging the passion of Rock with the sentiment of romantic lyrics. I always applied this philosophy throughout my life: To be true myself although today the music industry points towards other musical currents.

Driven by my passion, strength, and energy, plus the sensitivity of my lyrics as a reflection of human emotions.

This conviction in my music connects me with an audience forgotten by new trends, sincere and real people, thirsty for eternal songs that are part of their lives.

From a very young age, I had the concern to give ease to my creativity through the creation of my first songs. As a teenager, I brought my friends together and creates a Rock/Pop band: CRUCES; and after time, recorded two albums, SOMOS (2017) and ETERNO RESPLANDOR (2010) under an independent record company: TERCER PISO RÉCORDS.

At this point, I managed to discover myself as a Rockmántico and it starts reflecting into my songs.

Knocking on doors in search of an opportunity in Los Angeles, I begin to build a name through singing in the local bars.

I plan to finish an EP by mid-2021 continuing with this music line that has gradually brought me closer to an audience eager for deeper emotions.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
