Fidel Rivas: A long time coming, Blessed in where he's going

[ArtistPR]

Albuquerque’s Fidel Rivas blends rock and introspective lyrics, offering a unique, soul-stirring musical experience.

Albuquerque, NM —Fidel Rivas is more than just a musician; he is a true one-man band. For over 24 years, Rivas has been writing, arranging, composing, and recording his own original rock music. With a DIY ethos, he plays and sings all parts of his tracks, then performs live by removing guitars and vocals from the recordings to create a powerful full-band experience. His music, marked by simplicity and depth, aims to inspire, uplift, and challenge listeners with thought-provoking lyrics and positive energy.

What sets Rivas apart is his dedication to maintaining complete creative control over his art. From recording his own music to designing and silk-screening his own merchandise, he is involved in every aspect of his career. Rivas’ songs, though simple in structure, are filled with hooks that resonate long after the final note. He describes his music as "deep and thought-provoking," covering topics often overlooked by mainstream music, with a strong spiritual and inspirational undertone.

In the past two years, Rivas has transitioned from recording in his studio to performing live in Albuquerque, playing at least twice a week. He meticulously rehearsed for two years before hitting the stage, ensuring his live performances matched the intensity and precision of his recordings. Now, he’s expanding his presence by attending open mic nights, broadening his reach, and connecting with new audiences.

With a dedicated fanbase forming in Albuquerque, Rivas is focused on growing his audience. His live performances, which sound like a full band despite him playing solo, showcase his multi-instrumental talents. His dedication and passion shine through in every performance, and his hope is that listeners not only hear the music but feel and connect with it on a deeper level.

Fidel Rivas is now inviting the world to join him on his musical journey. Check out his latest releases, live performances, and handmade merchandise on his YouTube channel and social media platforms.
