Find Matt Rivera and you’re sure to find a guitar near by. An up and coming young singer/songwriter, Matt is a bit of a new comer when it comes to writing music, but what he lacks in experience he makes up for in enthusiasm and passion for his craft. Born and raised in Long Beach, CA, Matt Rivera, 19, has crafted a sound by drawing musical inspiration from the likes of Jack Johnson, and Jason Mraz, among others. “I want to create a musical experience perfect for a summer day on the beach and equally perfect on a rainy dayâ€. In a music industry that’s preferably plastic, Matt strives to beat the norm. Listen closely to the lyrics of his songs like “Weather Forecast†and “We Grew Up†and it’s hard to deny… there’s no plastic here, just a real artist looking to make a splash!
