Intuitive as a child, actress, singer, and songwriter Diana Salvatore always knew that she wanted to be a performer. At the age of five, she interrupted the Massey Hall performance of CATS in an attempt to perform on stage. Ten years later she officially joined the Canadian stage company that captured the start of her career.
Her television credits include ORPHAN BLACK, ALPHAS, MTV's teen drama VALEMONT and the American adaptation of UK smash hit SKINS, GOOSEBUMPS, DUE SOUTH, MY HOMETOWN, DEEPWATER BLACK, AT THE HOTEL, SAVE THE LAST DANCE (Fox Pilot); along with movies of the week THE LOUIS BRAILLE STORY and an ABC mini series LIFE WITH JUDY GARLAND: ME AND MY SHADOWS.
Diana made her feature film debut in THE KILLING MOON at the age of 16 and was later cast alongside Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere to play the role of Tina in the Miramax film SHALL WE DANCE.
Often recognized for her voice that sang an alto tone beyond her years, Diana was the winner of the BMG/Uomo Music Search contest in 2001. Her first single 'Baby So What' was featured on the VIK/BMG artist compilation CD Planet Pop alongside musical heavyweights Destiny's Child, Britney Spears and N'sync.
A diabetic since the age of 6, Diana never let anything stand in the way of her dreams and is involved in many charities. She has worked alongside Canadian singer songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk at the Liv Blu charity event in Toronto and sang for the Hospital for Sick Children.
An old soul with a retro sound, Diana was always drawn to music not from her time. She got the chance to perform with some of her favorites from the golden soul days when she played alongside the Box Tops and opened for the Temptations at the Hershey Center. Later that year she was asked to perform for Bill Clinton at the Nelson Mandela tribute.
In 2011/12, you may already have had a taste from Diana's upcoming debut album. The provocative track 'Dollar in My Jukeboxxx' has been featured in the Chevy Sonic TV commercial, playing in heavy rotation. As the first single off of the album, this song clearly illustrates her "Betty Boop Bionic" persona.
An independent thinker with a passionate drive for success. Diana's evolving sound and look seem not from this era. She hopes to capture the magical moments of a golden time, where music came from the heart and she is well on her way.
Stay tuned...
