Her biography is full with small roles in The Royal Family sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Family Matters, Live Shot, Baywatch, Smart Guy, House Blend, Even Stevens and The Master of Disguise, covering all aspects of the entertainment industry from drama to comedy, but she is most known for her role in the musical comedy television series Glee, as cheerleader Santana Lopez.
Naya Rivera's character comes off as a cold-hearted and vicious cheerleader, who often shows her softer side to fellow cheerleader but the real Rivera is the opposite. The girl who started acting since she was four now wants to become the next young pop star and she has all the chances on her side to be successful in this industry. As Santana she got more and more opportunities to show off her vocals with pitch perfect song choices as she has sung everything from Amy Winehouse's "Valerie" to Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" to Monica's "The Boy Is Mine", but nobody knows yet what will be her musical style, especially since in the past, Rivera has cited Michael Jackson and Paula Abdul as having major impact on her.
However, the first step for a pop career has been already made. The half Puerto Rican who once said "My passion for music is one of my greatest loves", surprised her Glee fans by being one of the first from the show to announce a record deal with Columbia Records for releasing her debut record. Teresa LaBarbera Whites, senior VP of A&R at the label, confirmed the news, noting that Rivera will begin working on her debut album after the Glee! Live! tour wraps in late June.
Moreover, Rivera is following the steps of Matthew Morrison, who has signed to Universal-owned Mercury Records and released a solo album, as well as of Mark Selling who has also released a solo debut album but independently. Her fans and those from Columbia Records believe in her talent because after all, though a secondary character, Naya Rivera is actually one of the more talented singers on the show, she has been songwriting since she was a teenager and singing even longer than that. Besides, Rivera has also changed since she was young, grew up and blossomed, making her a true triple threat in today's entrainment industry. She's not only a great actress, but she also has amazing voice and beautiful looks that combined all together make her unique key to success.
