Background
When Jerry Rivera was fourteen, he sent a demo tape to CBS Discos under the suggestion of his father.[1] This led to Rivera signing a contract with the record label and recorded his first album Empezando a Vivir.[2] The lead single, "De La Cabeza a los Pies" ("From Head to Toe"), received airplay in Puerto Rico and was included in the salsa compilation album, Non-Stop Dancing, Vol. 2.[3]
Music
The album includes eight tracks, most of them being covers of songs previously recorded by several performers. The lead track, "Esa Niña" ("That Girl"), is a cover of Luis Miguel's song from his album, Busca Una Mujer. A music video was made for the song.[4] "Dime" ("Tell Me") was written by Jorge Luis Piloto who also wrote "Como un Milagro" ("Like a Miracle") and "Más Que Tú" ("More Than You"). "Nada Sin Ti" ("Nothing Without You") is a cover of Eros Ramazzotti's song which received airplay.[5] "Para Amarnos Mas" ("To Love Each Other More") is a cover of Manuel Mijares's song.[6] Two singles from the album charted on the Billboard Latin Songs chart. "Dime" peaked at #26 while "Mas Que Tu" peaked at #35.[7][8]
