Your career started at the age of 10. When did you know that you wanted to seriously pursue a music career?
REVIVER: I always used to write songs and sing for my own entertainment. My friends back in high school used to tell me how good I was at doing music and ask me how come I didn’t do it professionally. Then after I graduated from high school I decided it was time for me to show the world what I had to offer musically.
What was your first step towards a professional music career?
REVIVER: I had to opportunity to meet the best music producer in the Spanish side of urban music in New York City “Game G”. I guess that’s how I got started into doing music professionally. It was like I was in high school and working with him was like going to college. I can say own my music career to him in a way. He is the one that helped me develop my skills as an artist and showed me how to do it professionally.
There are a ton of artists out there. Some with talent and some with just a gimmick. However, there are a lot of talented artists out there who don’t have major deals. What makes you unique as an artist?
REVIVER: My style, the way I write, the way I think, the way I treat my fans. I always say I don’t have fans I have family.
What’s your career philosophy?
REVIVER: Well I can tell you this; every single song I write has to do with something that happened to me or to someone close to me. What I am by this is that I don’t write non sense songs like a lot of artists do. My philosophy on my career is that everything happens for a reason and you should always see what positive you can get out of a negative. So I never give up no matter what.
What’s your idea of success? When do you know you have accomplished what you wanted to accomplish with your music career?
REVIVER: Success to me is when I bring my message through my music to someone who can identify itself with the lyrics in my songs. I guess to me if I got to reached a least one person who can say “that song is like it was wrote to tell my story what I am going through” I could say I’ve succeeded. I don’t do it for the money and the fame. I do it so people can relate to my songs.
