Freddy “ The Edit “ Rivera’s Bio
Born in queens New York august 24th 1971, Freddy Rivera also known as “The Edit” became drawn to the music industry as his father Freddy Sr. came home from the marines and started playing the congas and the bongos with his uncles Felix and Frankie. As a young teenager, his first record purchase that made him want to experience music in a different way and technical in nature was planet rock by Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force.
The record excited him and peeked his interest in intriguing him to want to know how it was done as it was futuristic in nature at the time.
As that special record peeked his interest, he suddenly was compelled into getting his DJ equipment, after listening to DJ’s like the “Animal” and “Aldo Marin” the owner of Cutting Records on the 92 KTU Paco super mix show.
Freddy started throwing block parties that became jammed with over one thousand people surrounding him at the age of 13 years old. He also had a hand in wedding and your average birthday, prom parties, still at the age of thirteen.
Freddy Rivera’s first shot at a vinyl record on Bark Creative Records was called “Papo” this was at the young age of 14 which was sold locally and gave him the drive to start creating what would become his distinctive art that would be sought out by many.
He started to want more than just being the average DJ. And after listening to editors like Chep Nunez. Omar Santana, The Latin Rascals (Albert Cabrera & Tony Moran),
