Information About this Event
Long Island’s own SAL “The Voice†VALENTINETTI, the America’s Got Talent Finalist and Italian-American Crooner will be performing all of your favorite classics from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Rat Pack and more.
Sal Valentinetti is an Italian-American crooner known best for his flawless vocals, larger than life personality, and his heart of gold. Born August 26, 1995 to Steve and Maria Valentinetti, Sal was raised in the small town of Bethpage, New York. From a very young age Sal was influenced by his grandmother, Tina Valentinetti, to love the musical genius of the classic crooner sounds of Dean Martin, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra.
At the young age of fifteen Sal realized the hidden talent he possessed and began performing his flawless tribute to the great Frank Sinatra. Before long the world would come to know him as “Sal the Voiceâ€.
In 2016, Season 11 of the NBC hit show “America’s Got Talent†was taken by storm by Sal Valentinetti. The 20-year-old college student that delivered Pizza for his cousin’s Italian restaurant was now in the spotlight. Belting out the classic Frank Sinatra hit “My Wayâ€, Sal not only received a standing ovation, but got the coveted “Golden Buzzer†from judge Heidi Klum, who he later performed a duo with singing “Santa Babyâ€.
Ever since the Bethpage native showed off his singing chops and unexpected love for jazz on season 11 of America’s Got Talent, his life has been a roller coaster ride. Yet Valentinetti wasn’t always aware of his talent. It was during a horn lesson at 15 when it was uncovered. The instructor asked him to choose a song to play and Valentinetti started singing the lyrics to a song he used to listen to with his grandmother: Bobby Darin’s “Mack the Knife.†Taken aback, the instructor immediately urged him to get singing lessons. With further encouragement from his beloved Uncle Joe, Valentinetti started to take his skill seriously.
These days, singing is all he does. Valentinetti has been touring all over the nation and selling out shows back home at The Paramount in Huntington and the Patchogue Theatre.
“It’s really been incredible to see the amount of people, especially from Long Island, who have rallied around me,†said Valentinetti, who also released a self-titled EP on July 1. “There’s no place like home.â€
