The Brighton, England-based artist as been turning heads across the UK thanks to features on BBC, The Guardian, and Clash, since the beginning of the year and now she is ready for her close-up this side of the pond.

Salt Ashes, born Veiga Sanchez, will release her self-titled debut this month and while she is still an unknown to America, she is someone that can easily find her footing once DJs get a hold of her music to play it on dance floors. Throwing back to the 80s synth era and 90s club scene, she is a breath of fresh air for electronic pop.

The singer, who is in her early 20s, takes her name from a carving that was etched into the side of a canoe on the Brighton pier. It is frequent visits to the beach and pier where she grew up that she uses as a muse for her music.

“When you stare into the sea you feel really little,” she told me as we spoke in the Meatpacking District. “I don’t go to the beach to sunbath. I go when it is cold and I am wrapped in a blanket and it grounds me.”
