About Me

WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/TSRIVIERABIO:Samara Riviera was born in Tijuana, Mexico and as a little gurl along with her family migrated to Southern California. She was raised in San Diego County and after graduating from Escondidoâ€™s Orange Glen High School she attended Palomar Commnunity College only to drop out after a year and make the move to Los Angeles. Hollywood made a published photographer and writer out of her by working with such magazines as Latin Style and Latin Heat. Later on Samara began a monthly column with several San Diego and Los Angeles based gay publications. Sheâ€™s now been writing for Adelante Magazine for almost a decade. For the past several years she has been doing celebrity interviews for said publication where she has interviewed artists such as Cyndi Lauper, Nelly Furtado, Rihanna, and many more Latin divas as well. After residing over a decade in Los Angeles and finishing her schooling Ms. Riviera made the move to Miami Beach where she has performed as an entertainer impersonating the likes of Lucia Mendez, Victoria Beckham, and Paty Manterola and also began doing celebrity interviews for Latino Boys Magazine where she has interviewed the likes of RuPaul, Gloria Trevi, and La India. Interview highlights include Holly Woodlawn, Xaviera Hollander, and Cyndi Lauper. Samara now resides in New York City where she's at work getting her own late night talk show interviewing celebrities. She now has special video segments on youtube interviewing NYC personalities and superstars. You can also catch her as special correspondent for Out and About TV and with Metrovelvet.com.
