born in doylestown, pa, and spent the first 3 years of his life in lambertville, nj. moved to bradenton, fl in '91. he was inspired by his father, Edwin Rivera, and credits him for his first desire to pick up a guitar. while developing his technique, he was greatly inspired by john mayer, who turned him on to stevie ray vaughan, who turned him on to hendrix. his style is a mix of his influences and his own, which makes it an interesting genre. mainly blues, but with poppy riffs, and a little finger style throughout. you will always hear soulful, felt leads in his music, be it rap or rock. dustin rivera is the most practiced musician he knows. if he can think it, he can make it
