AMELIA RIVERA
Amelia was born in Bogotá, Colombia, surrounded by guitars, singing, and dancing, and she probably learned to sing at the same time she learned to talk. She has breathed music her entire life, and it has been her way to express herself, vent, create bonds, and live new experiences.
At six months old, she moved with her family to Guatemala City, her second home, before going on to study vocal music in the US and Europe. Her life between cultures has led her to find inspiration in the sounds of French music, bossa nova, jazz, and Latin American boleros.
Amelia trained in contemporary singing with Maestro Willy Gutiérrez and in classical singing with Wendy Zaro-Mullins during her studies at the University of Minnesota. She holds a postgraduate degree in Voice Pedagogy and Technology from UNED and a certification in contemporary voice teaching from New York Vocal Coaching. Currently, she teaches singing in her studio in Guatemala City and performs at private events with various musicians and ensembles.
For Amelia, vocal music has been, above all, a fascinating journey of self-discovery. From physically understanding the potential of her instrument to facing her fears in sharing something as intimate as her voice. This is why she loves to accompany others in their process of self-discovery and expression through their voice.
