Chiquis Rivera, the daughter of the late regional Mexican star Jenni Rivera, will premiere a new single to her upcoming album on Premios Juventud award show July 17.
In January, Rivera released Paloma Blanca (White Dove), which was performed in honor of her mother. The YouTube video has reached more than 2.3 million views and Rivera, who frequently posts on social media, has more than half a million followers on Twitter and more than 600,000 followers on Instagram. The entertainer also has a web series about her life.
In her nomination of 'Song That You Can’t Get Out Of Your Head', Rivera is in competition with Prince Royce and Romeo Santos (Featuring Drake).
“I’m excited, I’m nervous,” Chiquis says of her nominations. “I definitely feel the pressure, but I work well under pressure. It’s a huge blessing. It’s so humbling … I owe it to my mom and I own it to the fans. I’ll be on stage for the very first time. It’s a huge stage. I’m going to give it my all.”
Rivera is scheduled to perform a song she penned. Rivera has made it clear that she wants to record an album. Mexican pop star Gloria Trevi provided Rivera with advice on the music business on Chiquis Confidential.
“I don’t want to look back in life and say and think, 'I should have done this or that,'” Rivera said with Billboard. “My mom never gave up and I can’t either.”
