Latin Christian artist Sarai Rivera is celebrating a major career achievement after receiving her first-ever Latin GRAMMY® nomination, marking an important milestone in her growing musical journey.

The recognition arrives as Rivera continues to reach new audiences and strengthen her presence within the Christian music scene. Alongside the nomination, she has also been announced as part of the upcoming Air1 Tour and is preparing to make an appearance at the GMA Dove Awards, where she will serve as a presenter during the telecast and perform as part of the pre-telecast programme.

These opportunities place Rivera in an exciting position, bringing her music to a wider Christian audience while building connections between Spanish- and English-speaking communities. Her growing profile reflects the reach of Latin Christian music and its ability to connect with listeners across different backgrounds.

“Being nominated for a Latin GRAMMY® is honestly surreal,” Rivera shares. “To be recognized by my peers for music that means so much to me is incredibly special.”

Over time, Rivera has developed an international following through her expressive vocals, personal songwriting and faith-centred message. Her ability to create music in both Spanish and English has helped her connect with audiences across cultures, while giving her a distinct place within the wider Christian music landscape.

Joining the Air1 Tour will provide another opportunity to introduce that sound to listeners across the United States. Her involvement in the Dove Awards will also bring her into the spotlight alongside artists and figures from across Christian and Gospel music, further expanding her presence in the industry.

Rivera is grateful for the people who have supported her journey and is looking forward to what comes next.

“I’m so grateful for everyone who has been part of this journey, and there’s so much more coming,” she adds. “I’m excited to keep reaching new audiences in both Spanish and English.”

Presented by The Latin Recording Academy, the Latin GRAMMY® Awards recognise achievements across Latin music, celebrating the artists and creative professionals contributing to the genre around the world.

With her first nomination, an upcoming national tour and a place at the GMA Dove Awards, Sarai Rivera is entering a significant new chapter. As her audience continues to grow, she remains focused on using music to bring people together through faith, regardless of language or background.
