Salva Rey
Biography
Born, raised and based in Barcelona, Salva Rey is half German actor and musician with over thirty years of experience in show business.
He has travelled all around the world as a musician and has been involved in projects such as «Corsets & Clownsuits» a comedy special in which he was with multiple Emmy award winner Alex Borstein. The show was nominated by the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, which kind of turned him into the new old face of the season.
He is a passionate reader and writer, enjoys a good chess match, ancient & swing music, and is fun to be around. He’s a father of two teenagers and travels with his family as much as he can.
Salva is also a ukelele collector and expert, and has an amazingly flexible tenor voice.
