Salvatore released a single, "Dirty Love", in 2010.[10] His later efforts include the singles "What You Do To Me" (2012) and the ballad "Hurricane" (2012).

Salvatore also promotes equality in the LGBT community, and supports the Gay American Heroes foundation, an anti-bullying charity.[8] Some of his videos include messages for the It Gets Better Project.[13]
In 2017, he raised more than $50,000 to help pay for home care for Norma Cook, whom he first met when he moved into an apartment across the hall from her in L.A. He used GoFundMe to help pay for her, as they became friends and she told him she was diagnosed with leukemia.[14] She later died due to complications from her illness.[15]
