Career
Artist Salle developed an interest in music at a young age. Talking about music, Salle said:
I always knew that I could sing, from a young age. I would sing in church, my friends used to compliment my voice but I just left it at that because my mother never took music seriously. I never used to take music seriously, and knowing that I can sing in church felt enough. I didn’t think much of it nor was it a career that I thought I needed to pursue.
She rose to fame in September 2021 after a video of her singing with a hawking tray, in the streets of Owerri, went viral on social media. Salle clarified that she was not a hawker when the video was captured.
The video generated massive views after being reposted by a famous Instagram blogger, Tunde Ednut. It attracted the attention of top Nigerian stars, including Davido and Don Jazzy, who promised to sign her.
The musician later launched her self-titled EP, consisting of singles like Magical and Rebel. Some of Salle's songs are:
- Pressure
- Therapy
- Underskirt
- Rebound
- Psycho
- Icon
- If You Live
- Journey Back Home
- Let Me See
- Soul Ft. T.I Blaze
- Delilah
Talking about the reason for making music, Salle said:
When I was growing up, there was this feeling I had whenever I listened to people like Asa, Jon Bellion, Michael Jackson and Nonso Amadi. That’s what I want to give to the world whenever they listen to me ten or twenty years from now. I want to make evergreen music.
The name Salle means art. The Nigerian singer said she is intentional about keeping the consciousness of art in her music.
I don’t let myself get distracted by the business aspect of it. Yes, I have to make a living, but I don’t think there’s joy in the money if I don’t feel how I want to feel or make people feel when they listen to me. I make sure I don’t go off or displease myself to please the business side. I still want to stay true and be intentional.
In the same interview, Salle said the benchmark of fulfillment for her was:
It’ll probably come from seeing people still sing my music in ten, twenty years from now – just like Bob Marley, Fela, Asa etc. That sense of foreverness. I feel like wherever my career stops, I believe it’s enough because it’s by quality and not quantity and I’m not scared of letting it go.
