About
Salima Gangani is a singer/ actor local to San Diego and LA County, California. She was first exposed to theater at the age of four, watching a local production of Beauty and the Beast, and has been hooked ever since. In April of 2023, she graduated with her Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Redlands, where she studied voice and vocal pedagogy with Donald Brinegar. Since then, Salima has been performing professionally throughout Southern California and has truly loved every second of it. She has performed at theme parks such as, Seaworld San Diego, The San Diego Zoo and Legoland California Resort as a dancer, singer, and host. Currently, she performs as a singer at the Disneyland Resort in their new show, “Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!” Most recently, she was seen leading the company of the world premiere musical, ‘Wild Child’ at Laguna Playhouse. When not performing, you can probably find her hanging out with her cat Jar, doing retail therapy at Ross, or at the beach. In the future, she hopes to expand upon her passion for the arts through performing in all capacities, through the stage and screen.
