Salin

In the artist's words:

Salin is a Thai-born drummer, Juno-nominated producer, and composer. She was chosen to be one of the 6 artists of CBC's Revelation Canada (2025) and has been featured on the cover of Tidal's Best New Jazz and Spotify's Fresh Finds Jazz playlists.

Her newly released album "Rammana" is a groundbreaking album that merges afro-jazz, funk, and indigenous Thai instruments, forming a new sub-genre that Salin calls "Afro Thai Funk". This unique blend highlights shared global music traditions and reminds us that music is a universal language, transcending borders and uniting us all in a shared experience of joy and creativity. Through her music, she ponders themes of identity, spirituality, and humanity, all paired with a dose of fun to create a unique sonic journey for her listeners.

The album has received international attention and has been featured on CBC's Q with Tom Power, NPR's New Music Fridays, La Prese, the BBC Radio (London) and Bandcamp Album of the Day, among others. The track "Current" from the album rose to the #3 spot on the Spotify Fresh Finds Jazz-Best of 2024 while her single "Si Chomphu" has been featured in the Top 30 chart of Cat Radio (Thailand) and KCRW (Los Angeles).

She has had the opportunity to perform at a variety of shows, including appearances on the CHANEL Summer Tour (2024), the Winter Jazz Festival, NYC (2025), KEXP Live (2025), and the Montreal International Jazz Festival (2022, 2024). Working with both local Thais as well as Canadian musicians, Salin is bringing together elements of East and West in the form of her second full-length album,"'Rammana", out now.
