About this event

Karma Rivera live at the Alberta Abbey.


More than a show—it’s a homegrown celebration. Backed by a full band, Karma Rivera brings her sound to life with the energy and purpose that’s made her a force in Portland’s music scene. This performance marks the lead-up to her highly anticipated debut album, set to release this fall.

“Escapism is usually the theme,” says Karma Rivera, whose music blends melodic rap flows with drum-and-bass-forward beats to create an experience that’s both reflective and high-energy.

Karma Rivera is a rapper, producer, and performer whose work explores identity, joy, and resilience through a genre-fluid sound shaped by Hip-Hop and Rap influences. Born in Chicago and based in the Pacific Northwest, she’s become a standout voice in Portland’s music scene—known for her magnetic stage presence, clever wordplay, and deep roots in the local creative community. Her performances go beyond entertainment—they make space for connection, release, and showing up fully as yourself.

Co-sponsored by the City of Portland Office of Arts & Culture and the Arts Access Fund and the Robert D. and Marcia H. Randall Charitable Trust. Thank you for supporting Alberta Abbey's community arts programming!
