Bella Galasso is a 24-year-old singer/songwriter from Montreal. Even though she picked up her first instrument at 10, she started writing songs as early as age 9. At 13 she was selected to be in the top 10 for the Montreal Songwriting Competition, the youngest one there. Her passion for songwriting was inspired by her love for artists like Taylor Swift and Avril Lavigne as a child. Bella is a seasoned performer having performed all over the city including the Bell Centre when her former band had the chance to open for Bon Jovi in 2018. After the release of her single “Ruin a Party” in May 2022, she is more than ready to let people into her more personal and vulnerable songs.
