About Me

Chris Rivera is my name and "C-Riv" is what i go by amongst my friends and peers in the "music" world. I'm a Puerto Rican native of Southern Cali (Los Angeles area) and my goal in life is to start my own production label and be able to network with other producers and artists to get my music out in the industry for true hip-hop heads to enjoy. I've been producing mostly Hip-Hop tracks and some R&B music since 2003. I was influenced by a close friend of mine named Albert Hernandez aka "Monomaniac" to start producing hip-hop beats. I use Reason 4, Fruity Loops 7, Cubase, Recycle and Pro Tools. If anyone is interested in purchasing any beats or doing a colaboration, hit me up and let me know...I'm always down to work...Now check out DJ BABU get down in Reason...........DJ BABU REASON DEMO AT NAMM SHOW PART 1DJ BABU REASON DEMO AT NAMM SHOW PART 2
