Edward Rivera

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Edward Rivera now calls Sacramento, Northern California, home. He first began performing in high school at age 16 and started leading worship at 17 when he felt called to reach the marginalized, the prodigals, and the unreached. After graduating high school, Rivera attended LABI, a Bible college in Los Angeles, where he joined a traveling worship choir. This eventually led to a six-year career on the road, singing background vocals for well-known worship artists and ministries on tour before stepping into his role as a lead artist.

Following an extensive season of touring with worship artists, Rivera joined the Bethel Music collective in 2021. He appeared on Bethel Music’s album Moments: Wait (Live) in 2024, leading "Nothing Else (Spontaneous) [Live]." Most recently, he is featured on the collective’s newest album, We Must Respond (Live) (2025), leading "Jesus Have It All (Spontaneous) - Live." Rivera’s prayer is to inspire and influence others through his music—especially those within the entertainment industry—and to lead them back to what truly matters: Jesus.
