Though Rasa Vitalia has experienced a lifetime great difficulty and adversity, she still carries, expresses, and shares a heart full of love. She truly believes that if she can touch the heart of at least one soul at any performance in any capacity in a positive way, her job has been done. Since 1995, she has been a part of the music scene in radio/dj, promo, booking, stage, music, voice and dance in New York. Since her move to San Francisco in 1999, Rasa began creating and presenting her own work in many venues. During this time, she also lived/performed in New York City off and on. In 2005, she moved to Las Vegas for auditions. Despite challenging times and trying to fit in, she landed her own show at the Stratosphere and learned that she is most successful being herself and doing her own creative thing. She then moved back to California to work on her own mastery. Rasa Vitalia has been on tour and performed with the Goo Goo Dolls (alt.rock, 1995-1999), The Lance Diamond Show (Disco/R&B/Funk 1995-1999), The Hubba Hubba Revue (2008-present), Supperclub Shows (2010-present) and many more music acts and theater cabaret shows.
