Rivenmaster’s Place is extremely proud to present a young talent who is taking Brazil by storm.  Fifteen year old Victor Santos is not only an exceptional vocalist but also has a wonderful personality that shows through in every performance.

Brazilian born in Recife, northeast from Brazil, Victor grew up in a musical family and learned about music from a very early age watching his father  (Singer Louro Santos) create his music both in writing and in the recording studio.  Victor quickly picked up on his father’s style and learned all of his songs.  This strong home musical influence coupled with music he found on the internet by youthful pop artists has been the musical driving force behind Victors singing career.

When Jared Cardona introduced his first video, a cover of Billy Gilman’s song “One Voice”, I could immediately see that this youngster had both charisma and personality.  He was not a bit shy or timid in his performance and showed no sign of nervousness whatsoever. While maybe not a polished performer yet, Jared’s vocal was pure, clean, and pitch perfect in fact almost angelic like! This alone was a show stopping performance for me.

This debut video prompted me to leave a complementary comment on his instructors YouTube Site.  I had kind of forgotten about leaving the comment, but then a few weeks later I received a very nice letter inviting me to get in touch with them to learn more about Jared and his amazing natural singing talent.

While Jared’s background does not include a long litany of musical events or life experiences, his story begins uniquely just in the fact that his debut video presently has exceeded Twenty-Six Thousand views.
