Isis Salam

Nigerian-born and Toronto-raised, Isis Salam emerged through the electro-rap duo Thunderheist, which brought her wider attention in 2008. Her practice encompasses singing, rapping, dancing and production, connecting an MC’s presence with electronic club music, with collaborations including Tyree Cooper and Junkie XL.

House and nu-disco also form part of her live vocabulary. “Let Go” appeared as a single for Berlin label Exploited Records, placing her work at an intersection of vocal performance, rap and house.
