• Hi, my name is Riva Brody!

      I am a singer, actor, mover, and director from the beachy town of Santa Barbara, California. I am particularly drawn to art with strong female characters and a sprinkle of whimsy!

       

      I love swimming in the ocean, chocolate ice cream, sock puppets, and sparkles.

       

      In my free time, you can usually find me singing to myself in true Disney fashion or eating everything bagels with lox whilst dreaming of New York.

      Let's work together!
