RIVERS GRAYSON

While music is Rivers' first love, skateboarding is a close second, as he started skateboarding at 6 years old and participated in competitions. Now, skateboarding provides him with musical inspiration and helps get him into the songwriting flow. His first exposure to music came from growing up in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, home of the famous Muscle Shoals Sound Studios and Fame Recording Studios. Once he became interested in guitar and singing, he joined a worship band at church and started to write and record his own music. He dreamed of living up to those legends that had once come through his hometown. After leaving the church band, Rivers continued to perform and released a single but felt a plateau in his career. Encouraged by his supportive mother, he took a chance and auditioned for “The Voice,” where he hopes to get the guidance and mentorship he needs.
