Events Description

 

A three-time Grammy nominated singer, songwriter and musician from Australia, Naomi Saalfield, professionally known as Nai Palm, is a composer, instrumentalist, producer, vocalist and poet who approaches all of these self-taught disciplines with an intuitive, infectious grace which sent her on a journey to sculpt songs that have been received and treasured across the world. It is a world she has traveled many times over as a solo artist as well as with her band Hiatus Kaiyote, who have become household names since they first began playing together in Melbourne in 2011.

After the independent release of their debut album Tawk Tomahawk, word of mouth caught on like wildfire and within months they were championed by a host of R&B and hip hop’s most respected tastemakers and icons (Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, Jazzy Jeff, Erykah Badu, Prince). This eventually led to their signing with Salaam Remi’s new imprint Flying Buddha (on Sony Music Masterworks) in 2013, and a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance for their single ‘Nakamarra feat. Q-Tip.’ This Grammy nomination made them the first Australian artist ever to be recognized by the Grammys in an R&B category.

Nai Palm’s approach to vocal arrangements is orchestral. At any moment the instruments she hears in her mind are presented in an organic blossoming of sound. A voice can be presented as a horn or strings, or a choir of wild dingos. Her sonic environments celebrate the synthesis of sound and the points of contact that gather us together within it, steadily moving away from the artist as ego and fitting each heartfelt offering into the ecosystem of the entire arrangement.

All throughout Saalfield continues to be a compelling solo performer, captivating audiences worldwide armed with her voice and guitar, playing from a varied catalog of songs across her whole career as well as surprising covers. The yin-yang of her ability to front one of the most dynamic bands on the planet to the intimacy of playing on her own continues to inspire a generation of artists including Willow Smith, Doja Cat, SZA and H.E.R., whilst always remaining true to her own creative North Star.
