Biography
Salt Ashes, aka Veiga Sanchez, burst into the electronic/dance music scene with her signature dark synth-pop melodies and zeitgeist club sound - all of which was inspired by Giorgio Moroder’s blend of disco and epic dark atmospheres & and drawing influence from artists as diverse as Madonna, Kate Bush, Daft Punk and MIA.
In 2014 she released singles “Somebody” and “If You Let Me Go”, which reached the Top 5 on both Billboard and the Music Week Dance Charts, as well as winning MTVU Freshmen & MTV IGGY’s Artist of the Week for “If You Let Me Go”. In 2015, she continued to build her unique blend of dark synth-pop with her single Raided, a Spotify fan favorite which also had support from BBC Introducing and was playlisted on BBC Radio 1Xtra. The singer also contributed her writing and vocal talents on label-mate Kristian Nairn’s single entitled “4Love”, and rising producer CRUELS’ single “Give It Up”, both of which received massive support worldwide.
The songstress released her self-titled debut album, produced by Daniel Fridholm (AKA Cruelty) and Rob Irving (House of Emeralds), mid-July. The album quickly gained popularity with music fans worldwide and the lead single “Save It” peaked at #22 on Billboard Magazine’s Dance Club Chart, along with Music Week’s Club Charts and various other charts.
Salt Ashes has also performed across various venues in the UK and opened for artists such as Say Lou Lou, Tove Styrke, Bright Light Bright Light, Femme, Nimmo & Little Boots.
