Sabrina Barreto

Sabrina Barreto is a 12 year old performing artist from Toronto, Canada. She loves the arts, is passionate
about singing, songwriting and performing. She also figure skates, draws and plays the piano. She has
attended the 'Laura Cece Vocal and Performance School' for the last 3 years. Prior to this she was a
student of ‘Canadian Idol’ judge, Zack Werner, for 1 year.
She is very proud to have won the Talent contest at her school in 2019. In May 2020 she was a finalist in
the top 5 of the juvenile category of the ‘Long and McQuade singing contest with John Santos’.
Sabrina released her first original song ’Dare to Dream’ (co-written with Laura Cavacece) in June 2020.
This song is extra special because it talks to being strong, getting back up after you fall and living out your
dreams. She wrote it for her friend who was being bullied and it is so relevant to all children these days
that have experienced the same kind of terrible treatment.
Sabrina won the Round 8 of the Nashville, Global Rising Song Contest on July 18, 2020 and was a
finalist in the Super Round of Global Rising Song. Sabrina is currently working with Anthony Wright (from
‘The Launch’ Canada) on writing more original music.
Her song “Warriors” (co-written with Anthony Wright) was released Oct 16, 2020. This song is about being
warriors and fighting for what we believe in, this is her tribute to winning this fight in these trying times that
we are currently living through! Sabrina has 2 more releases for 2020; “I hope you know what you meant
to me” on November 13th, 2020 and “Better without You” on December 11th
.
