Magna Vita

Magna Vita is a Toronto-based rock band founded by Davey White (vocals, guitar) and Oliver Salathiel (drums), known for their meticulous "stadium" rock infused with metal-inspired riffs, striking arrangements, and soaring vocal harmonies. Their music, steeped in the notion of living a ‘great life’, radiates an exhilarating energy reminiscent of classic acts like Boston and Alice in Chains, yet freshened by a contemporary rock perspective similar to Muse or Royal Tusk. Magna Vita’s creative vision is focused on exploring profound, larger-than-life experiences through every song and live performance.

The duo has made notable strides on the international live music scene, recently performing as a support act to The Lazys at key UK venues. In September 2025, Magna Vita took the stage at The Joiners in Southampton and The Underworld in London, sharing the bill with Junkyard Drive and supporting The Lazys as part of select European dates. These electrifying gigs have cemented Magna Vita's reputation for delivering dynamic, compelling concerts that leave a lasting impression on audiences.

With their debut EP ‘Poison Snake’ released digitally in December 2024, Magna Vita continues to gain momentum across streaming platforms and in live venues alike. For fans of vibrant, high-energy modern rock, Magna Vita is a name to watch. Follow the band to stay updated on their journey and discover where their next unforgettable gig will take place.
