Her parents, Ms. Patricia and Mr. Fiorello, are both Italian. Her mother owns and operates a bar in Italy, while her father serves in the military. Sparky attended Business School in Italy, graduating with a degree in business, but her true passions have always been dance and music. Known from a young age as a talented dancer and choreographer, she began performing early in her career. Her stage name “Sparky Diva” was given to her by a well-known dancer from Kingston, Jamaica, inspired by her vibrant fashion sense and magnetic personality, and the name has stayed with her ever since.
In 2017, Sparky hosted her own radio show in Italy called “Sparky Live”, where she introduced audiences to dancehall music and reggae culture.

Over the following years, Sparky continued to expand her artistic journey.
