One of the most ubiquitous commercials right now is for the prescription drug Jardiance. The drug is to help people with type 2 diabetes keep their blood sugar levels under control, but you may know it as the medication with the elaborate musical commercial with an actress singing enthusiastically about its virtues.
That actress is Sage Stream’s own Deanna DellaCioppa Colón.
That commercial is not a tenth of the story – read on.
Deanna attended Berklee College of Music on a full scholarship.
During her time at Berklee, she landed her first, national jingles, performed with and for Diana Ross, Patti Labelle, Arif Mardin, Yolanda Adams, CeCe Winans and Pat Metheny and on a magical night at The Wang Center in Boston, she took the stage with Stevie Wonder.
She landed a Top 3 Billboard Dance hit with “Higher”, which she sang/co-wrote and was produced by legendary DJ and Grammy award winning producer, David Morales. She has worked with David Foster, Diane Warren and many other hit writers and producers for lead and background vocals.
In 2014, Deanna was a contestant on Season 8 of NBC’s #1 rated show, “America’s Got Talent”, and made it to the live, quarter semifinal round at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. That same year she was cast as the lead singer/dancer/actress in the next 2 years of BIG LOTS holiday commercials.
Deanna has sung background vocals for Nick Jonas, Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, Paula Abdul and many more.
Her singing and songwriting can be heard in over 200 Film, TV & Ad placements like: “Apple”, “Betrayal”, “Sex and the City”, “General Hospital”, and “America’s Funniest Home Videos”, to name a few.
Another creative passion for Deanna has always been cooking. This led her to audition for Fox’s Master Chef in 2019, hosted by renowned Chef & TV personality, Gordon Ramsey. On Season 10 of the show, Deanna won a coveted white apron from the judges and became a member of the elite Top 20. Deanna will be appearing as a Judge and Chef on Season 2 of Hot Mess Express on Sling TV.
