Sara A. (born 14 October 2002), known professionally as Saley (stylised as SALEY), is a Portuguese musician, singer, songwriter and record producer. Saley's music has been described as a blend of R&B, indie pop, and electronic influences. Her sound is often referred to as "weird pop," emphasising its eclectic nature and refusal to be confined to a single genre.[1]
Early life
[edit]Saley was born in Portugal and moved to Brazil at the age of seven. Her early years were marked by the challenges of adjusting to a new culture while grappling with her Portuguese origins. Growing up in Brazil, she faced bullying that stemmed from the historical tensions between Portugal and Brazil. This experience shaped her perspective on identity and belonging, themes that would later resonate in her music.
Artistry
[edit]Saley's music has been described as genre-defying, blending elements of indie pop, electronic, alternative rock, and R&B. Her songs often feature introspective lyrics and emotive vocals, characterized by a melancholic tone and atmospheric production. Saley herself classifies her work as exploratory, with her lyrics delving into themes of self-discovery and personal growth.
She has drawn comparisons to artists like EDEN, whom she cites as an influence, alongside a diverse range of musicians including James Blake, Bon Iver and The 1975. In interviews, Saley has expressed that her music reflects her experiences growing up in a vibrant urban environment, capturing the feelings of displacement and introspection that contribute to the haunting soundscapes defining her style.
