Ricardo Treviño Jr. (born May 16, 1971), known professionally as Rick Trevino, is an American country music artist.

In December 1991, a representative of the Sony label, Paul Jarosik, was stranded in Austin due to flooding conditions and visited a small club where Trevino regularly played.

Buckingham made a special trip to Austin just to hear Trevino perform and signed him to Sony.
