Rivenmaster Reviews & Links

Over the years Rivenmaster has written a variety of film reviews and even published other articles that never appeared on this network of sites. While some of the films reviewed never received an Oscar, they were more than worthy of recognition for their contribution as a great film. Too often young actors don’t receive recognition for their hard work so that is why this site was created and why we do what we do!

Now in retirement, Rivenmaster is offering some of the links to early articles now found in the archives and others published elsewhere on the web.

Hopefully in the future some of these old articles will be restored and re-featured here for nostalgia proposes and for the new generation of movie watchers who perhaps have never seen some of these films.

Gus Jeffers Rising New Star

Gus Jeffers is a vibrant young artist making waves in the pop and R&B music scene. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, Gus discovered his passion for music at a very young age. He started singing as soon as he could talk and playing piano with his grandma and guitar with his dad as a toddler.

Although his family knew he loved music, and he had been taking piano lessons at his insistence since age 5, as well as performing at recitals, his mom didn’t give much weight to comments like “Gus is singing right on pitch” or “Gus seems very natural on stage.” But at age 11, Gus’s mom recalls the first time she thought, “Wow, this kid can sing.” Gus was singing karaoke with one of his best friends and performing what would become his signature song, “I Want You Back.”

Gus’s first break came at age 11 when local singer “Nafasaria Mathews” discovered him on Instagram. She introduced him to musician Alonzo Chadwick, who gave Gus his first stage performance at the Portland Waterfront Oregon Symphony Festival. There, he sang “I Want You Back” by the Jackson 5 with a full band in front of over 1,000 people without any practice with the band. Alonzo told Gus after the performance that he was a bit nervous for him considering he had no practice but was “wowed” by his stage presence and ability to perform. 

From there, he began to take his music seriously and started posting covers to social media from his favorite artists like Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, and Michael Jackson. Because Gus was so young, Instagram became his main media outlet as he was kicked off TikTok multiple times and eventually YouTube for being too young!

Gus’s more public journey began with a viral performance during a school Christmas show where he sang his favorite song at the time, “I Want You Back” by the Jackson 5 when he was 12. The video has over 2.2 million views!

Gus was also connected to George “Geo” Bivins, a legend in the music industry, who began to help guide Gus and his mom through a to-do list of requirements if Gus was serious about making it in the music industry. What Gus didn’t know is this task list of everything from learning how to produce, write songs, record in a studio, dance, vocal lessons, instrument lessons, and much more was a test to see how much grit and work ethic Gus had. A year after the gauntlet was thrown down by Geo to Gus (Gus had actually never spoken to Geo that year – only his mom had), Gus asked his mom to remind Geo for about the 8th time to get the track he promised him so Gus could write to it. That last request from Gus, along with Gus meeting and exceeding every one of Geo’s requests, turned the corner for Gus. Within 2 days of Gus asking for the track again, Gus and his mom were on the phone with Geo and a Grammy award-nominated producer and media folks. So, at the age of 12, Gus and his mom flew to Pittsburgh to meet with this team to write and record this first EP.

Gus was starstruck when arriving at the studio for the first time, as it was the one and only studio owned by the producer E. Dan, where Mac Miller and Wiz Khalifa recorded their music. The wall of award-winning records was astounding. But the time spent in the studio was worth it as Gus will never forget his mom recalling Geo’s reaction to Gus hitting the first note of the cover “I Want You Back” during his first recording session with Geo saying, “Now I am excited… Ryan (producer), tell Kelly (mom), that I don’t get excited, but now I am excited!” Geo went on to comment later that the grit, determination, and work ethic by Gus is not something he can teach and will carry him through this career.

Gus left that first recording session with his first set of original singles along with some covers, including the iconic “I Want You Back” with an R&B twist. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to release that single on Spotify due to copyright issues. But he has had great success with his other music. Another funny story was the second time Gus was back in the studio to wrap up his first EP, Gus was so sick that you can hear his stuffy nose in the recording on his single “True Love.”

Gus released his first EP, “Gus Vol. 1,” on his 13th birthday, June 21, 2023, followed by “Gus Vol. 1 Plus” later that summer, comprising some of his originals and covers. He returned to the studio in Fall 2023 to work with Ryan and Aaron (his two producers) again, releasing “This Christmas” for the holiday season 2023 and his biggest single to date, “Be Alright,” in January 2024.

Summer 2023 was also a great time for Gus as his connections in Portland led to further opportunities, including singing all over Portland band “HitMachine” and their lead singer Bart Hafeman, where Gus sang “Baby” by Justin Bieber. Gus also performed at the iconic Portland Church with Michael Allen Harrison for several shows during Christmas 2023.

In April 2024, after his voice change, Gus recorded seven new singles for his fourth EP, including a song originally written for Justin Bieber in 2010. Gus loves to tell the story that the single written for JB “Don’t Break My Heart” was created the year Gus was born!

In 2024, Gus embarked on an ambitious project to release new music each month, culminating in a full album expected later in the year. His singles “Stuck” and “True Love” have been well-received, with “Stuck” being a standout track from his upcoming third EP. He has been performing in Portland all summer and is beginning to line up with Fall singing dates already.

When he’s not making music, Gus enjoys a variety of hobbies. He has a background in jujitsu, soccer, and futsal from his younger years. He loves fishing, hanging out with family and friends, and is particularly passionate about Christmas. Gus starts talking about Christmas six months in advance and lives on a street dedicated to Christmas decorations, which reflects his love for the festive season. During the Christmas season, Gus has an instant stage as 15K+ people walk down his street each night for 2 weeks. This year he plans to have his band with him!

Gus hopes to continue growing as an artist and aims to inspire others through his music. He dreams of performing on larger stages, such as the Superbowl, and collaborating with some of his musical idols, like The Kid LAROI. His dedication and passion for music suggest a promising future ahead.

Gus has a variety of mentors who have helped shape his musical journey:

Songwriting Coaches: Kaitlyn Velez and Gabriel Orengo

Producers: Ryan Matthew Tedder  and Aaron Karsh, who have been working with Gus since he was 12 and have co-written many of his songs.

Mentor and Manager: George “Geo” Bivins, who has mentored both Gus and his mother, Kelly Walker Jeffers, who now manages Gus’s career.

Guitar Teacher: Ivan Danelich

Dance Instructor: Portland Dance Exchange

Vocal Coach: Dorcas Smith from the Brown Sisters, who has been coaching Gus since he was 11.
