Introducing…. Loah

November 19, 2014

Loah is loah_profileSallay Matu Garnett, a singer songwriter of Sierra Leonean / Irish origin, having grown up in the classical combination of Maynooth and West Africa.

While there, instead of a TV all she had was a piano to keep herself entertained, which combined with a solid classical training on violin and voice resulted in a uniquely talented musician from a very early age. While at Trinity College, she collaborated with future members of the likes of Little Green Cars, Slow Skies, I Have A Tribe, Collapsing Horse Theatre Company, and many others, as well as singing with Kíla, Niwel Tsumbu and Trinity Orchestra’s early pop endeavours.

She’s now embarking on an ambitious solo career, combining her unique blend of folk and soul which can only be described as ArtSoul. In what’s been a phenomenal first year in action, she’s released two stunning songs/videos (“The Bailey” and “Cortege”), performed at Electric Picnic, the Dublin Fringe Festival, and Body&Soul’s Shapeshifters Ball amongst others as well as a debut headline concert in The Twisted Pepper.

2015 will see her release her first EP along with an Irish and UK tour. Expect big things, but even more so expect the unexpected.

You can follow Loah on Facebook and Twitter.
