Biography

Edit

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 Agebjörn. 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 interview with Swedish webzine Judy in September 2007, she talked for the first time about considering performing live.

Agebjörn shed some light on the choice of the fictional stage name in an October 2007 interview with Exclaim! Magazine

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, Lindstrøm, 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.
