Girls Dem Sugah

Rivalio Vegas originates from South America, he was born in Suriname on January 3, 1984. He is now a EDM artist living in The Netherlands. His interest in music started at the age of 11, after hearing R. Kelly’s smash hit ‘I believe I can fly’. As he grew older his love for music grew stronger. By the age of 20 he moved to the Netherlands to pursue his dream as a professional athlete (track running), but due to circumstances it didn’t take long for Rivalio to change his plans and focus more on music. He joined hip hop group ‘Willemstarz’, where he not only sang, but also rapped. 
He got a taste of life as a beginning artist for the first time, because the group recorded music and performed here and there. After two years he decided to leave ‘Willemstarz’ and do things his own way. He started writing his own songs and developing his musical skills ,thanks to websites such as www.soundclick.com he got in touch with several producers that helped him realize a couple of demo’s. 
With a few of those demo’s he participated in Holland’s most popular radio station Radio 538 Demo Duel contest several times, and in 2010 he made it to the finals (live shows) with his song ‘Give it to me’. 
After that Rivalio decided to take a break from the music industry, and focused on other things concerning his personal life at that period. But thanks to the records that he has made, when he lost faith other dj's picked up on his musical talents which interested them to work with him. After giving it a try again in 2012 a record label picked up a record of Rivalio which interested them and he scored a huge hit in 2013 with "Can You Hear Me", From that moment on his faith got stronger and he decided to slowly thunder back into the music industry. 
Due to Rivalio's tenacious spirit he held on through the dry spells, and now has drawn the attention of several A&R's working within Reverbnation. Rivalio is now one of the few (.025% out of 3.4 million emerging artists) selected candidates of the (CONNECT SONGS) Program which launched in 2015.

His newly record titled "Jij Bent Van Mij " is now available FOR FREE on various musical platforms such as SC & REVERBNATION.
