Sabrina Salerno (born on 15 March 1968) in Genoa, Italy is a popular Italian singer and also model, dancer and producer. She is also an actress who has appeared in a number of European TV series, movies and theatre. In 1989 she appeared in the film Fratelli d'Italia with Jerry Calà and in 2005 she won the best actress critics awards for the film "Colori" at the famous Italian Salerno´s Cinema Festival.

She initially used the single-name credit Sabrina under which she had a string of European hits in the late 1980s, most notably "Boys(Summertime Love)", "Hot Girl", and "All of me(Boy Oh Boy)" (produced by Stock Aitken & Waterman). For more recent recordings, she is now using her full name Sabrina Salerno.

Sabrina has worked with famous music-producers: Giorgio Moroder, Stock Aitken & Waterman, Vasco Rossi, Massimo Riva, Joe Satriani(Satch), Dj Mori, Benny Bennassi, Morato, Orlando Johnson, D. Simon, Neal AD, Enrico Monti, Claudio Cecchetto...

She performed live at the Montreux Pop Festival in 1988. Another famous performance was in 1989 at the Olympic Stadium in Moscow, where 50,000 people gathered over 3 days to enjoy Sabrina's shows & music.

Sabrina was photographed naked in erotic magazines (such as appearing on the cover of the British magazine, Mayfair), and she is also known for her revealing music videos (her videos for "My Chico" and "Boys" were banned in some places as her breasts were briefly exposed in each). She is now considered an erotic star, her photos and video clips circulating in large quantities all over the Internet.

At the height of her career, Sabrina entered into a well-publicized "feud" with UK topless model-turned-singer Samantha Fox. Magazines such as Playboy played up the "war of words" between the two over who was the sexier singer. There's no evidence to suggest that this was anything more than a publicity stunt.

From 1999 to 2001 Sabrina Salerno made a tour all around Italy with the successful musical "Emozioni" in which she proved herself as an established actress and more mature performing singer achieving good reviews form the critcs.

In (2006) she released the promotional single "I Feel Love (Good sensation)", hoping a commercial release, but eventually this project was abandoned.

Sabrina Salerno has sold more than 20 million records all over the world and she has received awards such as "The Best European Singer" in 1988.

In April 2004 she give birth to her first child, a son called Luca.

She has worked a lot for Italian TV too as showgirl and presenter in such hit shows as "Ricomnicio da due" with Raffaella Carrà, "Odiens", "Bellezze al bagno" and "Matricole&meteore".
