Valeria Salt's background in music, the performing arts, and all things creative spans 30 years. She finished a reputable classical music school in St. Petersburg, Russia, before immigrating to Canada with her family in the late 90’s. There she specialized in first soprano choral vocals, piano, and choral conducting, and composed a waltz for a retired mariners’ orchestra at the age of 12. 

At the age of 11, the female indie singer performed a song for Madame Chirac, the wife of the former President of France, at her French school, for which she received a standing ovation. 

Despite her promising start, Valeria's path has been filled with negative childhood programming that had to be unlearned, and psychological traumas that needed to be healed in order for her to follow her dream with confidence. Years later, she did it.

Valeria Salt’s work is a celebration of life despite its numerous and sometimes cyclical karmic challenges. With thought-provoking lyrics, often ahead-of-her-time predictions and out-of-the-box opinions, she gently educates her audiences on the importance of self-development and mastery, ancestral lineage history, legacy building and the relationship between the past and the future.

Before sharing the stage with Grammy, Juno, and Josie Music Awards winners, Valeria Salt performed at various live music venues around around Toronto, Canada, with her former original band and live cover band Lera Salt Band. In 2019, Salt became the first in history Russian-Canadian music artist to have performed on the outdoor stage at Times Square, NYC, while sharing it with past Grammy winners (2019).  The female indie singer also performed internationally on cruise ships until the global pandemic began in 2020.

While behind the scenes and healing from past traumas, including an assault by a former band member, Valeria Salt has written 40 original songs and will finally be heading into the studio to record a debut album, to be released in 2022.

Valeria’s voice has the enigmatic colouring of a chameleon, tone described as a hybrid of Janis Joplin and Gwen Stefani with a touch of Alanis, raw emotion you’d expect from Florence Welch or Aurora, and vocabulary heavily influenced by her very own life philosophy and scientific esoteric studies.

Nearly effortlessly versatile stylistically, the multilingual female indie singer feels just as comfortable singing ballads a-la-Adele as intense punk rock songs. Her inherent duality of romantically vulnerable and powerfully fearless qualities gives her unprecedented strength and magnetism. With a dynamic stage presence that could rival many youthful performers’ high energy, her passion for her purposeful work is inspiring and her creativity is limitless.

A world traveller in love with fusing different genres and cultural influences in her indie alt-rock music, Valeria Salt lays rock grooves to support Indie Pop and Neo-Soul inspired melodies to create songs that are catchy, easily digestible, and radio-friendly. 

For over 6 years the Canadian music artist has also been a go-to talent judge in music, film and fashion industries. Including for Canada's top music and arts organizations such as FACTOR and Youth Day Global.

Through her own arts organization, Infame Inc., Valeria Salt became an artist rights advocate, a music & arts event organizer, and a festival music director. Her passion for music translates into every part of her entrepreneurial vision. Her brand of a beauty product, Minki Lashes, that had been featured on national Canadian TV and attracted the likes of numerous Hollywood celebrities, was, too, originally created with the performing artists in mind.

She isn't merely a vocalist or a songwriter but a game-changer with a legacy-building purpose, resilience and a brave heart that is typically seen in the world’s most influential figures. 

Valeria Salt has spent nearly 3 decades developing her numerous creative talents, spiritual wisdom and business skills to prepare herself for the real (competitive and often abusive) music industry while focusing on humanitarian efforts and altruism, promoting other artists and giving a lot of her energy to those who at times took advantage of her empathy, goodwill and very hard work. 

The time has come for this female indie singer to step into the spotlight and live her purpose by using her voice as a means to expand people’s minds about healing past traumas with art and achieving a fulfilling and abundant life where creativity doesn’t equal empty pockets.

She had pieced herself together numerous times after losses and crises, transformed herself for the better and came out of life situations that many fame-hungry artists would simply not be able to handle, stronger than ever. Many Hollywood musicians would turn to drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism. But Valeria pushed forward and learned psychology, astrology, digital marketing and business instead. Instead of hating, she started healing and helping others.

Her purpose is not to just sing “for the applause”, write songs for royalties or win a Juno or a Grammy award for status. The female indie singer is primarily here to enlighten and inspire people to heal themselves who were denied the emotional support or a sense of security by those closest to them but who nevertheless feel a flame inside telling them that they have something meaningful to offer to the world, and are willing to transform their lives because of that flame. 

One too many unique souls have been unseen, silenced and discouraged from following their inner voice. Valeria’s voice was gifted to her so she could use it to speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves. And her strategic mind was given to her so she could rise up to become a benevolently influential and reformist creative leader in the community.
