Early life
Rivera was born in La Barca, Jalisco to Rosa Saavedra and Pedro Rivera. At the age of four, Lupillo, and the rest of the Rivera family migrated, without documents, to Long Beach, California, where Lupillo graduated from Long Beach Polytechnic High School in 1990.
Career
Rivera initially wanted to be a restaurateur. However, his father, Pedro Rivera, was a recording label/studio owner (Cintas Acuario). Wanting to give his son a hands-on business experience, Rivera hired his son Lupillo to work at the studio when a contracted singer failed to show up for a recording session.
Lupillo was given the task of looking for local talent at bars, with the idea that some of that talent could be signed by his father's company. When Lupillo first started singing he was called "El Torito" Lupillo Rivera. Later when becoming more famous he was known as "El Toro del Corrido". His uncle was a semi-famous professional boxer, known as El Toro Rivera to Mexican boxing fans. By 1999, Lupillo began to sing using his own name [Lupillo]. By then, he had already signed with Sony Discos. His star began to rise meteorically at that point. In 2001, he was awarded a Premios lo Nuestro.
By 2010, nearly a decade into his career, Rivera had received various Grammy and Latin Grammy nominations for his work, that same year, he was awarded a Grammy Award for his album, Tu Esclavo y Amo.
Personal life
On 8 August 2008, Lupillo sired a son. On 21 June, he and his two young children appeared on the Spanish talk-show Cristina, and he told Cristina that he has eight children, seven of whom were biologically his and one who was adopted. He also has one child out of marriage.
