SALOMÉ

SALOMÉ puts a soundtrack to fickle, sparkly moments. Self-described as “folktronica,” she channels elements of Feist’s sincere lyrics and guitar, Saya Gray’s self-sampling and experimental production, tied together with strokes of ambient and electronica. Subverting the traditional singer-songwriter trope, she combines her acoustic roots with expansive electronic production. SALOMÉ’s universe expanded anytime she was in front of a screen. At the computer, she was free to explore it all: Vocaloid, Emo, and early YouTube songwriters, from which she discovered her love of making music on her 2010 Macbook Pro. Eventually, an early near-signing with a record label made it clear that traditional pathways would compromise her vision. Since then, SALOMÉ’s mission for her artistry has been to benefit her community while remaining free to create something that is true to herself, prioritizing creative sovereignty over convention. Her project “Haberte Querido” is a love letter to her guitar: a vignette of moments recounting the growing pains of being a young woman, stitched together by her glitch-laden sound design and confessional vocals. As a means of developing her artistry, SALOMÉ is now pushing deeper into expansive, left-of-center electronics. Her upcoming single, BLUSHING, is an ode to the tracks she’d spam on her computer as a kid. <3
