Valeria Salt is a charismatic out-of-the-box singer-songwriter, polymath and visionary leader with a strong entrepreneurial attitude and a mindset that seamlessly blends her insatiable creativity and a highly developed intuition with a technical and rational business side.

Her background in music, the performing arts, and all things creative spans 30 years. She finished a reputable classical music & theatre school in Russia with excellence and performed with a live band in Canada and on cruise ships worldwide. She shared the stage with Grammy, Juno, and Josie Music Awards winners and became the first in history Russian-Canadian female artist to have performed on the outdoor stage in Times Square, in 2019 while sharing it with past Grammy winners. Her songwriting journey continues with her now working on her original debut album in the alt-rock genre infused with multicultural influences.

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.

Coming from humble beginnings filled with negative childhood programming that had to be unlearned, Valeria Salt’s work is a celebration of life despite its numerous and sometimes cyclical karmic challenges. With thought-provoking lyrics and often ahead-of-her-time opinions, she gently educates audiences on the importance of self-growth, ancestral lineage history, legacy building and future.

• Valeria is a polymath who dedicates a lot of her time to gaining knowledge in various fields. Her top three areas are scientific and practical esoterics (astrology/numerology/
tarot/ spiritual healing etc), arts (music, fashion, photography, videography, writing), and digital marketing.

• Valeria first came to Hollywood in 2017 as an entrepreneur and sponsored a Grammy's celebrity gifting lounge with her brand of Siberian mink lashes that she created called Minki Lashes.

• Her first success on national Canadian television did not involve the Toronto singer’s music but rather her beauty brand product, Minki Lashes that was featured on Canada’s top talk show for women, the Marilyn Dennis Show.

• The Toronto singer wrote 40 songs during her extensive behind-the-scenes “prep period” as a way to build a solid foundation of self-confidence in her talent. This is how she beefed up her skills and confirmed to herself that she is built and ready for the show business. Over time, as her original music gets released, the audience will gain more insights into her process and life experiences.

• Having been previously affected by a life-changing health condition that put her on long-term disability for almost a year, and that she cured on her own after doctors could not help her, Salt advocates for non-toxic personal care products and natural healing methods.

• Inspired by her mom and grandma, she has been sewing since a very young age and has designed and sewed numerous outfits. To this day sewing is what her mom and her do at home together.

• The Toronto singer has had quite a few rough life experiences and psychological traumas while living both in Russia until teenage-hood, and in Toronto thereafter. She successfully single-handedly overcame depression more than once without the use of any state-altering substances or Pharma drugs, and can now inspire people to do the same.

• 35% male and 65% female
• aged 16 to 55
• different ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds

Valeria Salt's fans are typically “spiritually awakened or curious" individuals and resonate with her message of self-empowerment via building a freedom lifestyle. She tends to appeal to people who have a sense of humour and an appetite for psychology, history, the law of attraction, astrology, travel, entrepreneurship, arts and crafts and world events. Teens who feel like outcasts, who struggle with their identity, problems with parents, and/or codependencies are drawn to Valeria because she stimulates their mind in an easy to digest format and inspire them to uncover their potential.

They watch Youtube Ted Talks and tarot readings, purchase spirituality or self-empowerment oriented merchandise, read self-help books and entrepreneurship publications, and some of them have or plan to have home-based side gigs. They are cultured and gravitate towards experiential performances, dinner-and-a-show type of events, underground concerts, festivals and fashion shows.

Her fans are both single and married and tend to be college/university educated although some are starting to denounce expensive and often ineffective post-secondary education in favour of new independent schools, online courses, and mentorship programs. They are learning about new ways of making money online. Some even dream about being “laptopreneurs” (traveling entrepreneurs).
