- YouTube sensation Riva Quenery to perform for her debut concert
The YouTube sweetheart Riva Quenery takes Vlogging to the next level as she prepares for her 20th birthday Solo Concert. Entitled as RiVlog Live, the 19-year-old content creator will tick off an item on her bucket list on May 27 at the SM Skydome.
Riva has been quite a figure in the local vlogging scene with her naturally quirky and intimately personal vlog dubbed as RiVlog. Her YouTube channel, which she proudly runs solo, earned her a YouTube Silver Play Button last year. Today, she nears half a million subscribers.
General’s Daughter
In an interview with Riva, she was asked what is it like living as a PCSUPT Robert Quenery’s daughter. She admitted that she grew up with intense discipline and she understands that it is for her own good. Riva even shared that she had a bodyguard as a child and was uncomfortable about it, so she insisted that she wants a normal life.
“Sa una po, hindi approved talaga si Daddy,” she said referring to her career as a vlogger. “Hindi po sanay si Daddy na atensyon, hanggang ngayon nag-aadjust pa sila,” Riva added.
Plans on pursuing education
Riva had a short stint as a Dentistry student at the University of the East but decided to stop and pursue a career in showbiz. A decision that led to her vlogging career. She admitted that she has no regrets about the choices she made, but plans to finish her Bachelor Degree soon.
“Gusto ko nga po [mag-enroll] this year na ‘e, kasi po siyempre magandang regalo din po ‘nun sa parents ko,” she said. “Kaya nga kahit ga’no ka-busy, gusto ko ipasok sa schedule ko,” Riva continued.
Riva detailed her plans for her debut concert, but what separates it from other ones is its beneficiary. “Every birthday ko, I make sure na tumutulong ako sa mga street children. Parang naging advocacy ko na siya. Parang naisip ko rin na, what better way to celebrate it than to make my supporters happy and share [blessings] with less fortunate kids,” she shared.
