Salt Ashes Exclusive Interview With Offically A Yuppie
After turning heads in the UK, it is now time for the Brighton-based singer-songwriter Salt Ashes to make a name for herself in America. On a recent trip to NYC, Salt Ashes met up with an online blog, Officially A Yuppie to discuss the upcoming release of her debut album. She admits to being excited but also nervous about the upcoming release, “Everyone’s debut album is their whole life put into this disc,” she said. “It is my whole life, especially the last five years, out there for the whole world to hear.
The young singer takes her name from a carving that was etched into the side of a canoe on the Brighton pier. This frequently visited beach and pier is where she grew up and also an inspiration for her music.
Her music is about love, loss, heartbreak, finding and losing yourself. Drawing influences from Depeche Mode, Giorgio Moroder, Martha Graham, Mary Ellen Mark, she plucks from their work to help assemble her own.
She admits that getting used to being the center of attention is new to her and is adjusting to her time as the limelight beckons. Salt Ashes admits to taking things one day at a time and not looking too far ahead for what is in store.
