Bethpage, New York-born jazz/traditional pop vocalist Sal "The Voice" Valentinetti makes his official solo debut with the dreamy original single, "Still On My Way", out now with its official video via Keep Good Company Records. He will also be making his long-awaited debut in Italy tomorrow night with a special performance in Florence's La Ménagère.
Over the years, Sal has built a real career for himself one show at a time, one song at a time, one audience at a time. From singing in empty rooms to performing for millions, "Still On My Way" is a reflection of one New York singer-songwriter's journey to achieve his wildest aspirations. As he sings in the chorus, "Dreams don't just appear: they take decades of blood, sweat, and tears."

Produced by acclaimed Hudson Valley producer Lee Falco (Clairo, Sam Smith) and recorded at The Building, “Still On My Way” features an all-star ensemble including Falco on drums and percussion, Jeff Hill on bass, Jeremy Baum on keyboards, Reid Jenkins on strings, James Richardson on French horn, and string arrangements by Ron Shalom. The track was mixed by Justin Giup and mastered by Alex Black Bessen. The gathering of talented performers, all eager to support Valentinetti's unique artistic vision, only brightens the path he is set to follow for a long and vibrant career.
"Through every high and every challenge, the dream remained the same," says Valentinetti, whose life as a singer began exactly 10 years ago today, when he earned the coveted Golden Buzzer during a breakout performance on America's Got Talent. "'Still On My Way' is about the journey: the beauty and dedication it takes to make a dream come true." A decade later, the dream is still alive, the work continues, and he is still on his way.
An official music video accompanies the release, filmed and directed by Brooklyn Zeh. Shot at The Building during the recording process, the video offers an intimate look inside the sessions that brought the song to life while highlighting the camaraderie and craftsmanship behind the recording. The project was executive produced by Tina and Matthew Baione of Keep Good Company Records, with label-mate and frequent creative collaborator Ginger Winn serving as associate producer.

Tomorrow night, Valentinetti will be celebrating the release of "Still On My Way" with a unique performance at La Ménagère, a high-end club in the heart of Florence, IT. The traditional jazz pop vocailst promises not only a night of heartfelt renditions of old school jazz standards, but an exclusive sneak preview of his original material (including a forthcoming debut album) as well.
Valentinetti kicked off his label debut earlier this year with the release of "Little Pal", a fresh and sentimental take on the timeless American Songbook ballad originally by Al Jolson and made popular by Jimmy Roselli. Now married and reflecting on fatherhood, Valentinetti revisited “Little Pal” from a different stage of life–honoring tradition while bringing modern vulnerability to the performance. Atwood Magazine, who exclusively premiered the "Little Pal" video, said it was, "a striking reminder that the most powerful songs don’t fade; they find new meaning in those willing to bring them forward. With a voice that can swell with passion one moment and quietly break the next, Valentinetti honors this song’s past while ensuring its place in the present day."

Today, the vocalist continues to captivate audiences today with his signature charm and spellbinding voice and promises much more to come this year.
