Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti Keeps the Dream Alive with First Original Single “Still On My Way”

Ten years ago to the day, a wide-eyed kid from Bethpage walked onto the America’s Got Talent stage, sang Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” and walked off with Heidi Klum’s Golden Buzzer and millions of new fans. Today, Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti is proving that the dream didn’t stop when the confetti settled. It just got started.

The Long Island-born jazz and traditional pop vocalist has officially released “Still On My Way,” his first original solo single, out now via Keep Good Company Records alongside an official music video. It’s a dreamy, string-swept declaration from a crooner who has spent a decade paying his dues one room, one song, and one audience at a time.

Produced by acclaimed Hudson Valley producer Lee Falco (Clairo, Sam Smith) and recorded at The Building, “Still On My Way” is a lush, cinematic showcase for Valentinetti’s velvety baritone. The track features an all-star ensemble: Falco on drums and percussion, Jeff Hill on bass, Jeremy Baum on keyboards, Reid Jenkins on strings, and James Richardson on French horn, with string arrangements by Ron Shalom. Justin Giup handled the mix and Alex Black Bessen mastered the final cut.

Where his earlier releases leaned on the Great American Songbook, “Still On My Way” is Sal’s own story, set to music. As he sings in the chorus, “Dreams don’t just appear: they take decades of blood, sweat, and tears.” It’s the kind of line that lands harder when you know the singer means every word of it.

“Through every high and every challenge, the dream remained the same,” Valentinetti says. “‘Still On My Way’ is about the journey: the beauty and dedication it takes to make a dream come true.”

The accompanying music video, filmed and directed by Brooklyn Zeh at The Building during the recording sessions, pulls back the curtain on the camaraderie and craftsmanship behind the track. The project was executive produced by Tina and Matthew Baione of Keep Good Company Records, with label-mate Ginger Winn serving as associate producer.

Fans in Europe get the first live taste of this new chapter tomorrow night, when Valentinetti makes his long-awaited Italy debut at La Ménagère, a high-end club in the heart of Florence. Expect heartfelt renditions of old-school jazz standards alongside an exclusive sneak preview of original material from his forthcoming debut album.

“Still On My Way” follows Valentinetti’s earlier 2026 release “Little Pal,” a tender reimagining of the Al Jolson ballad made famous by Jimmy Roselli. Atwood Magazine, who premiered the video, called it “a striking reminder that the most powerful songs don’t fade; they find new meaning in those willing to bring them forward.”

Ten years in, Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti is doing exactly that. He’s carrying an entire tradition forward — Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Vale, and the kitchen-table lessons of an Italian-American grandmother — and stamping it with his own name. The old school isn’t a costume for Sal. It’s a birthright, and he’s just getting warmed up.

Stream “Still On My Way” now, watch the official video, and keep an eye out for the debut album on the horizon. The dream is still alive. The work continues. And Sal is, as promised, still on his way.
