GIADA VALENTI

From Venice to Vegas, and Desert Heat to an Enchanting Christmas Album

In the midst of scorching August heat, it might seem a bit amusing to talk about the upcoming holidays. With sweat trickling down our foreheads, as we seek refuge in the shade, it’s hard to fathom the chill of winter and the festive cheer that comes with it.

But there is one artist who is already preparing to enchant us with the magic of Christmas. Giada Valenti, the talented singer-songwriter renowned for her enchanting voice and emotionally captivating performances, has been hard at work in the studio, putting the final touches on her Christmas album.

Hailing from the picturesque city of Venice, Italy, Giada’s musical journey has taken her across continents, capturing the hearts of fans worldwide with her captivating melodies and emotional storytelling. Now, as the days grow hotter, Giada is already channeling her Yuletide spirit, ready to transport us to a world of snowy landscapes and heartwarming melodies.

Giada’s upcoming Christmas album promises to be a delightful blend of classic holiday favorites, adding a unique and soulful touch to the season’s music. She aims to create a magical listening experience that resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

As we endure the summer heat, Giada Valenti’s upcoming Christmas album serves as a reminder that the joy of the holidays can be cherished all year round.

Under the expert guidance of eight-time Grammy winner Gregg Field (known for his work with Seal, Alejandro Fernandez, and Placido Domingo), the album shines with unparalleled brilliance. Joining forces with acclaimed musical arrangers: Jorge Calanderelli (Tony Bennett, Celine Dion, Yo-Yo Ma), Chris Walden (Herb Alpert, Michael Bublé, Andrea Bocelli), and Shelly Berg (Gloria Estefan, Renee Fleming), Valenti had the privilege to work on this album at Abbey Road Studios in London where she was accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, with the famous conductor Robert Ziegler.

Giada is currently collaborating with Vegas PBS on a Christmas music special that promises to be a breathtaking showcase of her artistry and the beauty of Las Vegas around the holidays.

Beyond her musical endeavors, Giada Valenti’s journey is marked by her genuine compassion and dedication to making a positive impact. During the lockdown, inspired by a friend who had a deaf son, she took the initiative to learn American Sign Language (ASL) and promote deaf awareness. Since then, she has been including deaf awareness in all her activities, using her platform to advocate for inclusivity and understanding.

Thanks to the airings of her beautiful PBS special, Giada found opportunities to perform in Performing Arts Centers and theaters across the country. She made her headlining debut in Las Vegas at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts in

November 2017, where she has since become a regular performer. In October 2018, she made her debut at Carnegie Hall in New York City, returning by popular demand in 2019.

Among her most recent highlights, she was asked to perform with Andrea Bocelli at a concert benefitting his foundation. Sharing the limelight with the legendary tenor was an unforgettable moment in her career and a friendship she’s very proud of.

With the promotion activities of her PBS special, Giada discovered the city that would soon become her home - Las Vegas. She moved here from Los Angeles in 2019, and the city embraced her with open arms, where she has become a cherished part of the city’s vibrant arts scene.

Giada about living in Las Vegas: “I love the warm weather, but mostly it’s the friendly and supportive community of art lovers and artists that make this town special and made me feel at home.” MV
