Meet RIIIVER JORDAN | Singer/Songwriter & Dancer

We had the good fortune of connecting with RIIIVER JORDAN and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi RIIIVER, Let’s talk about principles and values – what matters to you most?
Seems cliché but “Treat others how you want to be treated.” I think often people change this to “treat others how they treat you.” This outlook doesn’t leave room for change in the highest possible outcome. Because of my personal experience and upbringing I have always wanted to BE love and a difference in all spaces I am. Show the world and yourself great people exist by being one first. We all want to feel great in the work space, gym, office, or outside where we meet new people so putting out good energy and respect can only create it. When it doesnt at least there is room for change just by showing someone that side with your response. Not saying give away your love and respect but BE as you are even when there is some resistance. We never know what others are experiencing or going through at any given moment. Integrity is everything.
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.
I am RIIIVER JORDAN, a Singer/Songwriter and Entertainer. The art I create comes in many forms as I believe to an extent we are all artists creating on our own journey. I am often asked about my “Genre” of music which is hard to pinpoint as I love all kinds of music and can find inspiration in most forms. My focus now is creating music that makes the listener feel, whether internally or to get the listener up and moving. This allows my art to be authentic. If I can’t make you the viewer or listener feel anything then I haven’t made the impact I desire. I am a poet which has been great when it comes to music writing. It also brings a specific flavor to my music. My first EP was created with some of the greatest in the industry. Grammy Nominated producer Drew Scott helped me bring to life my first single “CRUEL INTENTIONS ” which started as a poem I wrote based on the events. The world can expect layers in RIIIVER JORDAN music/visuals. This allows me to connect with all backgrounds and ages. If you are not a fan of the music you may love the poems or visual art. If not the visual art you may be impacted by some of the messages I share or write about from my life experiences that helped drive my passion. Never wanting to give up has kept me going. My art is for my purpose. Or maybe my purpose is in art. Either way love is heavily involved. Now that I have begun to build more of my empire to create I am in a space to create with others and even build and collaborate with Artist and creators around the world. The Blue Prints is the business behind some RIIIVER JORDAN creative aspects (Editing, Photography, Music Writing, and content creating) and the purpose is to connect with other creators and Dreamers alike worldwide. We are so spread apart sometimes we feel alone. RIIIVER JORDAN is any artist that wants to Unite through Art & Music. RIIIVER JORDAN and team create art for those of us fighting to make this space, this world better. Even if it means being vulnerable to showing the hard stuff. I want to put it in music, fashion, and movies so the stories you don’t see of those striving for greater can be told or felt.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
So I am currently in Phoenix visiting my family and I am learning to love it here. If I had a bestfriend visit for the week they better bring gym clothes and outdoor gear. I love the outdoors here. One of the places I love most in the US is Sedona, AZ it is absolutely magickal. There is something refreshing about the air and people in Sedona, not to mention all the great places to hike and just be outdoors. There are gyms everywhere and fitness has been not only a meditative thing for me but it keeps me in the best shape and focused. PIZZA AND WAFFLES! Crazy mix so not at the same time but we are getting Pizza somewhere as Phoenix has some of the best pizza. One of my favorite spots in DT Phoenix I go to is Federal. The “At Last” pizza is one of my favorites ever. Because there is so much to do here, spending a day just out on the town is ideal. Whether you want music, art, animals, to party, or find really unique food and drink there are many hidden gems here.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
It’s hard to name all those that have been a part of the RIIIVER JORDAN becoming and journey. Most notably when I was living out of my car and pursuing my career at such a young age most would have gone back home to the family. I chose to continue hustling and those people, friends, guests, members (Equinox gym) all became family during this time. More than they could imagine. So thank you to all those that I got to bring a smile to when it would have seemed difficult for me to smile. To those that left tips where I bartended or served. To those at every gym I have been in that were moved by my energy. Nothing felt greater than being a light each day in spaces that needed it. I am grateful for Nick Cannon and NCREDIBLE. I also had a gift from an Equinox member once of a key with the word “Resilient” on it. Shocking right!?!? It wasn’t a coincidence that this key found me at that time so another thank you to the people over at “The Giving Key” because the key really became a part of my day and journey. Finally a big Shoutout to my family in LA that took me in Josue and Vee (The Durans) . I love them so much for showing up and opening their hearts and home to me. I am forever grateful for them because I would not have met Nick Cannon in the time and place I did without my brother and Sister. They became family and the love is unconditional. A huge shout out to my Mom. Yea I am a mommas boy at heart. Her passion to become who she is today and more is how I am here today. What she gave up to achieve degrees of the highest level while being a single mom. It’s because of my Mom who I am becoming feels even more real. She says my name reminded her of a journey. Her love and support has always been a part of mine. It’s why I know I can do anything. I watched her do it. And when I feel like giving up, she is a voice like my dads that echos exactly what I need to hear to keep going. I am because of them.
