Luis Rivera is a self-taught musician that started playing bass at 15 as an accident.
Influenced by his father who played timbales, Luis started on timbales and percussion at a very early age playing alongside his father with his band. He then switched to guitar playing with his father and brothers. When that band broke up, he was left with a bass guitar in his home where he picked it up and started playing along with the radio and records that he had. That’s when he fell in love with the bass guitar. Soon after he started to play with local salsa bands then was introduced to jazz and Latin jazz.
Then a change came where started to play for the church he attended. There he learned to play Gospel and contemporary Christian music.  A call came from a friend to play in an R&B and funk band and was introduced to playing Motown, even though he was very familiar with the genre, he was influenced by that music.
Luis has played with many artists from different genres live, in the studio, and currently freelances filling in with different projects.
 
Luis holds a regular full time job so music is a part time job but full time passion.
 
Luis plays through 2 MINI 12+L Cabinets. For smaller venues he uses 1 MINI 12+L
