Alexia Riva Elegant live music with soulful vocals and acoustic guitar

A performance space of approximately 2m x 2m and access to one standard power outlet are usually sufficient. Easy access for loading and unloading equipment is appreciated.

To ensure the best possible performance, I appreciate receiving the following information:

• Event type and schedule
• Performance duration and preferred music style/vibe
• Indoor or outdoor location
• Expected number of guests
• Available power supply near the performance area
• Existing sound system and technical support (if any)
• Access, parking and loading arrangements

This information helps me prepare the most suitable setup for your event.

Yes. For small to medium-sized events, I can provide a professional sound system suitable for ceremonies, cocktail hours, private parties and corporate events if the location is in Barcelona or surroundings.
For larger events, I am happy to work with the venue's existing sound system or coordinate with external sound providers if required.
I do not currently provide stage lighting, although basic ambient lighting is usually sufficient for most of my performances.

Yes, I'm happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between my sets. I'm happy to choose the music myself or let the client choose the music.

One of my most memorable performances was a concert presenting my original music in Barcelona. Sharing songs that I had written myself with an attentive audience was both exciting and deeply rewarding.

As for venues, I particularly enjoy performing in beautiful outdoor locations and elegant wedding venues, where the atmosphere, the setting and the music come together to create something truly special. Every venue has its own character, but the most memorable ones are always those where there is a real connection between the audience and the music.

I genuinely enjoy all kinds of events, but weddings and intimate private celebrations are probably my favourites. There’s something special about providing the soundtrack to meaningful moments in people’s lives. I love creating a warm, relaxed atmosphere during ceremonies, cocktail hours and dinners, helping guests connect and enjoy the occasion.

Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began performing at local events and open mics before gradually moving on to weddings, private functions, corporate events and regular live performances. Alongside private bookings, I also perform in public spaces around Barcelona, which has taught me how to connect with all kinds of audiences and create memorable live experiences in any setting.

My musical influences come from a blend of soulful vocals, heartfelt songwriting and honest storytelling. Artists such as Amy Winehouse, Carla Morrison, Imany and Coldplay have all shaped my approach to music in different ways.
If I had to choose a favourite artist, I would probably say Carla Morrison. Her ability to convey vulnerability and emotion through simple yet powerful songs is something I deeply admire.
As for the greatest song of all time, that's impossible to answer definitively, but "Disfruto" by Carla Morrison would certainly be one of my personal favourites. It's a beautiful reminder to appreciate life's simple moments and it continues to move me every time I hear it.

I typically arrive 60 to 90 minutes before the performance to set up and carry out a sound check. Performance lengths can be tailored to each event, but common formats include a 60-minute set, 2 x 45-minute sets, or 2 x 60-minute sets with a short break. I'm happy to adapt the schedule to suit the event's needs.

Yes, I love performing outdoors and have played at many outdoor events and weddings. I simply require a flat, stable performance area, access to power if needed, and adequate shelter from direct sun, rain or adverse weather conditions to protect both the equipment and instruments.

Absolutely. Clients are welcome to choose songs from my repertoire and share any musical preferences for the event. I also offer the option of learning special requests for important moments, such as wedding ceremonies, whenever sufficient notice is given. If preferred, I'm equally happy to curate the perfect setlist based on the atmosphere you'd like to create.

Previous clients often describe my performances as warm, elegant and heartfelt. They frequently comment on my soulful vocals, relaxed stage presence and ability to create the perfect atmosphere for an event, whether that's a romantic wedding ceremony, an intimate cocktail reception or a lively private celebration.
