Valeria Salt's community involvement is an important part of her life's journey and overall purpose. Gaining insights into people's psyche and deepest wounds has had a tremendous effect on her as a humanitarian, leading her to dedicating her work to the greater good on a mass scale. 

Valeria is selective about the causes she supports and the communities she joins, and some might even criticize her choices. However, after having worked with clients 1-on-1, which allowed her to dive deep into the human nature and its struggles, she understands and appreciates the value of selectiveness. 

In addition to being a passionate musician, her undying passion for music, being a polymath also requires her to spend time on continuously acquiring knowledge across various fields, in order to facilitate the attainment of her humanitarian goals. 

Valeria Salt holds a degree in Political Science so it comes as no surprise that activism would become a part of her life's journey. Standing up for artists' rights, children's and women's rights, as well as numerous other social issues, is in line with her values. 

Conscious of the dark side of the male-dominated music, entertainment, and business industries, that still struggles to end abuse of children and women, after having experienced the painful consequences of the rape and abuse culture first hand, she, along with a growing number of female artists globally, has turned to activism to help protect female artists, especially underage ones, and entrepreneurs. Striving to give survivors of assaults in the arts and business industries a fair chance of success without repercussions for speaking up, Valeria’s work will, over time, help to establish new safer standards of inclusion and respect.

One of the hardest working individuals on the Canadian musicians list, Valeria 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. All while focusing on her altruistic goals, 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 her 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.

Having gone through a psychologically difficult childhood and youth that played a major role in delaying her music career, at the heart of Valeria's focus in life are collective initiatives directly related to supporting the youth. Her community involvement places an emphasis on working with organizations that assist and motivate young artists and young entrepreneurs. 

Valeria's own life story is filled with inspirational and educational moments. She is an example of long-standing resilience, self-belief and perseverance that allowed her to overcome discouragement, abuse, and personal insecurities.

For several years, Valeria has served as the Official Judge for Youth Day Global, Canada's largest arts festival for youth (normally) that attracts 40,000 annually to its full-day event held at Dundas Square, Toronto. She assisted in selecting the festival's performers and identifying talent. In 2020, due to the Covid-19 "pandemic", Youth Day featured a 12-hour livestream of the virtual event called FestCast.

As an event organizer and music director through her organization InFAME Inc, Valeria's collective initiatives include co-organizing a non-profit rock festival that supports emerging artists, luxury fashion photoshoots, fashion castings, and other local events in the Greater Toronto Area. She is recognized on the fashion scene, has worked with international and Toronto models, beauty pageant queens and artists whom she is looking to bring in as part of her projects. 

She seeks to incorporate various types of art into her live performances to make them visually exciting and interactive. In September 2018, the Juno Award winner, Choclair, performed as a celebrity guest at her event that showcased numerous musical acts, as well as a burlesque fashion show by a talented emerging fashion designer Allie Wood!
