Sally Shapiro

Template:Infobox musical artist 2 Sally Shapiro is the pseudonym of a Swedish singer, whose music is influenced by 80s Eurobeat and Italo disco.

Sally Shapiro's debut album, 2006's Disco Romance, was produced by Johan Agebjörn. The album received strong reviews, and Shapiro has recently been championed by many prominent music blogs and 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.

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.

Agebjörn shed some light on the choice of the fictional stage name in an October 2007 interview with 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 will be released in the US on October 16 in Canada and October 30, 2007 in the USA on Canadian based indie label Paper Bag Records. It will be 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 will also feature new artwork by Canadian designer, Geoff Wilson.
