futuretense: Saloni + 916
Two rising-star acts bridge British and South-Asian cultures and musical styles, from hip-hop to Bollywood, in this edition of our free fortnightly gig series.
Saloni is a British-Asian singer/songwriter whose original music and remixes have an eclectic mix of pop, R&B and Bollywood, bringing both her Eastern and Western worlds together. Although she was born and raised in the UK, Saloni keeps her roots close to her heart, singing in many genres and over ten languages, and showcasing the beauty of South Asian culture to the rest of the world.
British-South-Asian collective 916 have garnered their own unique sound, blending elements of R&B, hip-hop and soul with records such as ‘Wants & Needs’ and ‘Nuisance Interlude’, 916 have since built further anticipation for a full length project with their most recent release ‘I Spy’. They performed at the Titan Festival in 2022 alongside Lloyd, Ludacris, and Jon B, and airplay on prominent platforms such as BBC Asian Network and Kiss FM.
This event is presented as part of South Asian Sounds.
