Roberto Martin Fernandez Nievera (/njɛˈvɛərə/; born November 30, 1986) is a Filipino singer-songwriter and record producer. He is a former VJ for the music channel Myx and radio DJ at Wish 107.5.
The eldest child of singers Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez, he began his own professional career as a VJ after winning Myx VJ Search 2010. At the time of this success, he was studying music production at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde and serving as the vocalist and guitarist of an indie rock band. Nievera tried deviating from his musical parents as a child, but eventually became interested in music after learning to play the guitar in school.
In 2012, Nievera signed with PolyEast Records and released his debut album, the blues rock-influenced Overwait, for which he won New Male Recording Artist of the Year at the PMPC Star Awards for Music. He was the producer for No More Words (2012), a duet album by his parents. Nievera has since self-produced his subsequent albums. He mounted his first solo concert in 2013, in support of his second album, Nightmares (2012), which he had independently made available a few months prior. He signed with Homeworkz and released Dare, his third album which explored alternative pop, in stages throughout 2016,[a] during which he ventured into radio, hosting The Roadshow at Wish 107.5 until 2018. Nievera is currently based in Los Angeles, California.
