Giada Valenti, born and raised in Venice, Italy. In the US she is often compared with Diana Krall, Caterina Valente and Connie Francis. In Italy they often say she sounds like Mina and Orenella Vanoni. After her music got serious interest from a major record label in 2004, she spends most of her time in New York. In December 2005, Giada’s self-released CD Italian Signorina was launched in the USA to great reviews. Italian Signorina featured the song “Caruso” that Giada performed on the red carpet at the Columbus Day Parade in 2005, 2006, and 2007 in New York City. Giada has performed a selection of songs of her new CD “And I Love You So” at the 2008 and 2009 edition of this parade, and was featured on WNBC 4 New York. Read more on Last.fm.
