Viva, the product of an Italian-American mother and African-American father has had musical interests as varied and mixed as her ethnic and cultural background.
In her early teens she performed with Le Miz, an all female, Broadway musical review, and numerous choirs and small ensembles.
In her late teens, Viva put her musical interest aside to pursue an acting career in film and television, appearing in such shows as "Fresh Prince of Bel Air", "A Different World" and "Cop Rock". However Viva has recently rediscovered her joy and passion for music and returned to a career in Music in 2002.
Viva' s greatest delight and solace comes from listening to classic soul, Jazz, RnB and Blues. "One of my deepest passions is listening to fantastic live music. Being able to sing and perform is just an extension of the energy and bliss I receive from listening. Listening is everything."
Viva made her way to Asia in September 2003 where she performed at The Island Shangri-La Lobster Bar for three months. From there she went to Hong Kong' s 97 Group where she performed at such venues as Post 97, Club 97 and Kee Club. She also collaborates with other musicians in and around Asia, and has performed at the Peninsula Hotel Hong Kong, Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, Park 97 Shanghai, Coco Blues Thailand, Sheraton Bangkok, Harry's Singapore, Hilton Kuala Lumpur and has performed at various corporate functions. Her corporate clients include Omega, The Forum, Swvarski, Park 'n Shop, Watson' s Water and many others.
