With each appearance, however, Salgado said he was happy to showcase his talent and saw the learning experience as an opportunity for redirection.
“Music became my best friend when I was feeling alone in high school … it really gave me an opportunity to speak the truth about who I am as a person,” he said. “I was always trying to find myself and try to fit in. Music gave me the opportunity to do brave things.”
Salgado has been singing since age 11, has performed with Lauren Spencer-Smith and sang the national anthem at the 2021 Vancouver Canucks game at Rogers Arena.he was skeptical when he started singing Canada’s Got Talent Travel because of past rejections.

His supporters, such as manager and friend Matt Dunae, also known as rapper Sirreal, have been encouraging him to keep going.
Although Salgado cannot yet disclose the results of his latest TV appearance, he plans to produce original music this year. His latest single, “If I’m Being Honest,” will be available on major streaming platforms including Apple Music and Spotify on April 28.
The singer said that most of the music he’s released is about figuring out who he is.
“Also, just make yourself vulnerable. Because as a kid and preteen when it comes to emotional and mental health — it wasn’t really touched or encouraged in my day… especially when it came to toxic masculinity.”
