Adrieanne Perez Rivera was born in Bitburg, Germany to Manuel (an officer in the United States Air force) and Mary (a personal trainer). As a young girl, she was already a natural performer, re-enacting scenes from movies and television for her family's enjoyment, but she decided to focus on classical opera and musical theater. After hearing from her mother's friend that she should audition for an opera program, Adrieanne decided to try her luck. She was accepted into Opera Theater of St. Louis's prestigious 'Artist in Training Program' where she trained with the top opera voice teachers and pianists. At 18, however, she heard through her stepfather that there was an audition for a movie called 'American Streetballers'. She beat out over 200 girls for the role of Sarah and made her movie debut in 2009. She decided to pursue on camera work and moved to Los Angeles, after being accepted into The American Musical and Dramatic Academy, a conservatory in Hollywood. Since graduation, she has worked on a few more feature films, short films and commercials all throughout California.
