Early Years 1983 - 2001
Salvatore was a very active child whom expressed interest in the arts: playing of instruments; singing; dancing and entertainment in general. He took his first keyboard lessons at the age of 8 which lasted for a year. Later he would go to secondary school and at the age of 15 he took up his interest again. He started by learning the guitar and he joined the school brass band playing the tuba. He received piano lessons at age 16 from a Scot named Kerr Gordon Blair (musician currently located in Lanzarote). Meanwhile Salvatore discovered a passion for singing. He decided his favourite thing was to sing and thus set out to gain music industry experience. Salvatore joined the Ayrshire Voices Choir, Ayr. There he sang in many musicals. Later through his job working in Pizza Hut, Ayr. Salvatore sang live on radio a cappella. This got him a regular spot as a guest in West FM Radio station in Ayr.
