Imaginative and left-of-center, the music of LA-based Sudanese-American artist Dua Saleh (they/them) explores everything from queer love to concepts of the self and the world at large. Across a fluid catalog, they've deftly fused and inverted genre conventions, traversing R&B, soul, rock, hip-hop, electronic pop, and beyond with a socially conscious style driven by melody, grit, and bravado.
