Sally Shapiro Biography

Sally Shapiro is the pseudonym of a Swedish singer, whose music is influenced by Eurobeat and Italo Disco. She grew up listening to Swedish pop and disco.

Her newest single, Miracle, was released on June 16, 2009. It is similar in style to previous Shapiro singles.

Sally Shapiro's debut album, 2007's Disco Romance, was produced by Johan Agebjorn. The album received strong reviews, and Shapiro has recently been championed by many prominent music blogs including Pitchfork Media.

Shapiro is notable for shunning publicity; she has never performed live, given real-life interviews or revealed her real name. However, in an [http://judy.se/article/136 interview with Swedish webzine Judy] in September 2007, she talked for the first time about considering performing live.

What if I did a show in Italy, where there's no-one I know. If I just went onto the stage, did my thing and left without having any further contact if I didn't want to. Then I'd still be able to keep myself outside of it and just regard it as Sally's thing.


Agebjorn shed some light on the choice of the fictional stage name in an October 2007 interview with [http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/multiarticlesub.aspx?csid1=116&csid2=4&fid1=28503 Exclaim! Magazine]

I chose [the name] Sally Shapiro because we were inspired by artists like Valerie Dore and Katy Gray, who also had a team of producers and writers behind them using the name of a singer as the title for the project"


Sally Shapiro's album Disco Romance was released in North America October 16, 2007 on Canadian based indie label Paper Bag Records. It is a 10 song album, 3 of the songs will be new and exclusive to this new version: Jackie Jackie, Skating in the Moonshine and He Keeps Me Alive. The album also features new artwork by Canadian designer, Geoff Wilson.

On April 15, 2008, Sally Shapiro's remix album Remix Romance Vol. 1 was released worldwide by Paper Bag Records. Some of the names on this remix album are Junior Boys, Jon Brooks, Lindstr?m, Holy Fuck and Juan Maclean.

Quickly following Vol. 1, Remix Romance Vol. 2 was released on June 17, 2008. It contains remixes by Dntel, The Russian Futurists, Solvent and Alexander Robotnick. This volume is only available as a download, for now.

Her second studio album, Guilty Pleasures, was released in September 2009. Like the previous work, it was recorded alone.

Producer: Johan Agebjorn;

Executive Producer: Wolfram "marfloW" Eckert
