SAL OLIVERI
Producer • Artist Development • Songwriter
This Nashville based Producer has played a pivotal role in the careers of artists across multiple genres including: Pop, Rock, R&B, Country, Christian and Film. Sal provides the sound, inspiration and development needed to launch artists’ careers into the forefront of the music industry.
Raised in the shadows of Manhattan, Sal Oliveri developed a diverse musical background. His grandmother, an opera singer, and father, a golden-voiced “crooner”, set the bar high for Sal when it came to execution and musical taste. By age 4, Sal was riveted to pop radio and his upright piano. Before long, Sal was performing as musical director and keyboardist at Harlem’s famous “Cotton Club” and hitting the NJ/NY studio scene. Soon after, Sal relocated to Nashville where his musical efforts quickly earned him a #1 single he co-wrote and a Grammy Nomination for Best Rock Album.
Sal is known for his attention to detail and instinctive gift for bringing out the essence of the Artist and making it extraordinary.

ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
Artist Development is something Sal has been doing for nearly two decades. He’s always had a special interest in helping aspiring Artists to be seen in their best light and get the attention they deserve. Sal takes all the experience of working with major Artists and apply the same principles to independent artists to help them maximize their time and efforts to get ahead and avoid the pitfalls in the music business.
You would start with a 2-hour consultation where Sal gets to know you as an Artist, your personal story, career goals, as well as answer any questions you may have. He will then offer steps towards the development of your skills, songs, sound and image for creating a cohesive brand for the current marketplace. The goal is to help you refine, focus and strengthen your talents so you can stand out in a crowd with a definable product. You’ll leave the meeting with a clear road map of what your next steps should be.
Depending on where you are in your progress, you may be ready for recording after the initial meeting or require one or more 1-hour follow-up consultations. Everyone is different and Sal’s goal is to help you be prepared to present the best version of yourself to the world.
Consultations can either be in person or via FaceTime.
