Bio

Sally-Ann D?Amato is a native of Yonkers, NY,
which is also home to one of her greatest musical
inspirations, Ella Fitzgerald, a childhood friend of
her grandmother?s. Sally grew up listening to her
grandmother?s stories of Ella?s voice wafting in
through the open windows on hot summer nights.
It was this music that later inspired Sally at a young
age to find her own voice.

Up until the age of 12, Sally's loyal fan base
consisted of a team of stuffed animals propped on
her bed. It wasn't until a vacation to Disney world
that her family discovered her talent when she
auditioned for the show, ?Disney TV Tryouts.? To
their surprise, not only could this shy, quiet girl
sing, she wowed her family and everybody within
earshot with her audition. Her family wasn?t all she
impressed! She was pulled out of the line of
hopefuls and given the chance to sing
?Somewhere Over the Rainbow? in front of a live
studio audience. Since then, Sally has been lucky
enough to have a family who has been wonderfully
supportive of her decision to pursue a career in the
arts, traveling to every concert and summer stock
performance.

Sally is a person of many layers--sweet and
innocent on the outside, but wacky and a little
feisty on the inside. Her sharp wit and creative
storytelling has been entertaining her friends since
her spin off of Grease was performed at a fourth
grade assembly. She ventured into lyric writing at
a young age, by writing song parodies for her
friends; and when she was short on cash through
the years (as poor, starving artists generally are)
she would write songs for them as gifts. Her
friends are always amused by the stories of the
crazy characters she's met while pursuing her
dreams. She's certainly had her share of
"adventures..." She has been studying voice for 9
years in New York, Boston, and London. She?s
worked as an actor, singer and dancer in theatre,
film and television; and has written and produced
several plays, including the musical satire, ?The
American Way.?

Sally can often be found mesmerizing hard to please New York audiences at concerts and venues all over the city. She enjoys collaborating with other artists and has
added her unique style as a guest singer with
bands such as Bluu, Yazmin, and the Steve
Marshall Band. She is currently the lead singer of "Mina's Fantasy," a hot rock/pop cover band that can been seen regularly in the New York tri-state area. Check out upcoming performances at www.sallyannmusic.com.
