Geraldo Rivera Rodriguez was born on July 31, 1973. Jerry is originally
from Humacao, Puerto Rico, but he grew up in Levittown, near Toa Baja
on the central northern coast of the beautiful island of Puerto Rico.
Siblings include Saned, Edwin, Ito, and José, who all have careers in
salsa (one of his brothers was with Puerto Rican Power). Edwin "Pino"
Rivera, his father (a trio singer), made the demo tape when Jerry was
just fourteen and a half years old. In an interview with Maria Conchita
Alonso (for "Al día con Maria Conchita"), Jerry talks about how sure
his father was that he would succeed. He and his father sing together
in the trio songs "Entrega" and "Hiereme sin compasion" in the most
recent production "De otra manera." Jerry is also accompanied by his
father's trio in his latest CD "Jerry Rivera para siempre." Jerry's
first CD, "Empezando a vivir" came out when he was only fifteen. In his
ten year career, Jerry has compiled quite a resumé, not limited to the
musical arena.
