Sabrina biography

Her real name is Sabrina Debora Salerno. She was born in Genoa, and was raised by her aunt until the age of 5 since her father didn't acknowledge paternity and her mother was not present for her. She then lived with her maternal grandparents in San Remo.

Until 1986, Sabrina - then a former Miss Liguria and young TV-presenter in Italy - had only sung occasionally on TV shows, recording songs such as The Combination and Uragano (Io mi muovero '), and appearing in TV films such as "Ferragosto OK", "Professione vacanze", "Grandi magazzini", "Delirium" and "Tutti in palestra". But that changed soon, as Italian music-producer Claudio Checchetto decided that Sabrina should test her talents in the pop music business, too. The result was Sabrina's debut single, entitled Sexy Girl, which was released in Italy in the beginning of 1987.

Then came Sabrina's second single, Boys (Summertime Love), the song Sabrina is still most remembered for today. A typical Italo-dance pop number with a catchy tune, it became a huge summer-hit very soon in Italy and many other countries around the world. After this enormous success, Sabrina's team tried to score another international hit with a new single : Hot Girl, included on Sabrina's by then-released first album. But it did much less good than its predecessor.

Then came Lady Marmelade, released in France under its French title as Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi.

1988 started with another success for Sabrina: All Of Me, a happy dance-single which had been produced by the legendary production-team of Stock/Aitken/Waterman in the UK, became a hit in several European countries. My Chico was Sabrina's second single in 1988, and another big success. The song reached the # 1 position in the Italian singles-chart, and was quite successful in other European countries, too. She played a role in mini TV-series "Festa di Capodanno".

Then came Like A Yoyo, released as a single in Italy and France at the end of 1988. It was Sabrina's first collaboration with disco-legend Giorgio Moroder. The following singles Sex, Guys And Dolls, Pirate Of Love, and Doctor's Orders (produced by Gianfranco Bortolotti) were only released in a few countries.

Gringo, released in 1989 was in many ways the official successor to 1988's My Chico. It was once again written by Sabrina herself and Elvio Moratto, just as the follow-up single Yeah Yeah.

1989 : Sabrina appeared in the movie Fratelli d'Italia, a film in 3 episodes.

In 1991, Sabrina teamed up with Italian starlet Jo Squillo (real name Giovanna Coletti) to record the song Siamo Donne. It was her first duet, and her first Italian-language single. They performed the song at 1991's San Remo music-festival but the song didn't really become a big hit. Then came Shadows Of The Night, a track from 1991's Over The Pop-album, which was released in Italy only. The follow-up Cover Model (the second single - produced by Pier Rossini - in Sabrina's career that never made it's way onto an album) was only released in France (where is was a success) and Italy. Afterwards we did not hear of Sabrina during 3 years.

She made a comeback with the single Rockawillie in 1994, a dance-track very much in the style of her 80's recordings. Then came Angel Boy, her most eurodance-like song, even including a rapper (the famous Tony Dyer). Song was covered by Russian project Elen i Rebiata under title Anghel Moi.

In 1995, Sabrina teamed up again with her one-time collaborator Elvio Moratto to record a new version of her 1987 hit single, Boys (Summertime Love). Moratto himself made three mixes of the new recording, while a team of DJs prepared a complete remix , the NYDP Mix.

Only one track was released as a single from 1995's Maschio Dove Sei album (first album to be released under her complete name Sabrina Salerno), it was entitled Fatta E Rifatta.
