At the age of 15, Gabriella Salvucci made musical history. The Pittsburgh based musician signed to Misra Records, becoming the youngest artist to ever sign to the label that’s spent nearly two decades working with some of the most innovative names in music, including Destroyer, Torres, and Centro-Matic.
In 2022, Salvucci spent a week in mid April recording her debut album at The Church Recording Studio. With the guidance of producer Dana Cannone, and the expertise of select musicians courtesy of The Commonheart, Salvucci’s songs were brought to life. “Peace Offering” is a collection of songs that narrates both Salvucci’s personal experiences as well as those of characters. Whether it be political turmoil, or her older sister moving away, Salvucci details her emotions with poise and perspective beyond her years. Gabriella Salvucci wants her music to serve as a catalyst for change. This new album does just that, while also detailing the hardship and heartbreak that comes along with it.
A budding pianist and guitarist, Salvucci writes all original music, while also collaborating with accomplished songwriters and experts in the industry. For instance, Salvucci co-wrote the track "Mad Medusa" with Dave Pahanish, who wrote three Billboard #1 Hits. Additionally, she has shared the stage with national acts such as Vanessa Carlton, Mikaela Davis, and William Matheny. In 2024, Gabriella Salvucci brought her music to the U.K. with a five-date club tour.
Bringing all of these ideals together, she takes cues from artists including Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Brandi Carlile.
