Snaffu Rigor is a Filipino composer and vocalist.

He started composing in 1964; his first recorded Tagalog composition was "T.L Ako Sa'yo" sung by Cinderella Band in 1975; wrote lyrics of "Bato sa Buhangin" and the English version of "Araw-araw, Gabi-gabi"; was a member of the Ramrods; Cinderella, Backdoor and Blackbuster bands; heads the Domestic A&R of Blackgold. Dynamite performer Snaffu made repeated sullies abroad over a 23-year period, but his career bloomed in the home market, capped by highlights as topping the Metropop with his "Bulag, Pipi at Bingi" producing hit albums and selections for the country's top singers.
