STEVEN RIVERA

Steven Rivera, the esteemed founder and CEO of SMR Music Edits, has been a driving force in the music editing industry since he founded the company in the fall of 2018. Steven's passion for music editing dates to his childhood, where he first delved into the art using cassettes. As technology advanced, Steven transitioned to computer-based music editing in 2005, expanding his skills and honing his craft using various programs including Cakewalk Music Creator among others.

Notably, Steven's journey is marked by resilience and determination. Despite being born prematurely and facing various disabilities such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, hearing and vision issues among others, he never let these challenges hinder his pursuit of his passion. In Steven's own words, "that doesn’t hold me back in any regard from pursuing my passion."

The idea for SMR Music Edits stemmed from Steven's vision, which he shared with his family for their guidance and input. With his sister owning a dance studio, Steven sought advice on how to turn his dream into reality. Acknowledging his sister’s and parents’ pivotal role, Steven emphasizes, "honestly I couldn’t do any of this without their guidance and help."

Thanks to Steven's unwavering dedication and the invaluable support of his family, SMR Music Edits has thrived, serving as a testament to Steven's indomitable spirit and determination. Through his pioneering work, Steven continues to inspire others to overcome barriers and pursue their aspirations, regardless of the obstacles they may face.
