Salem Ilese, also known as Salem Davern, is an American singer and songwriter.[2]
Early life
Ilese was born in Mill Valley, California.[3] Her songwriting career started at the age of 10 when she began classes with Bonnie Hayes (songwriter for Bonnie Raitt and Cher) in San Francisco. She also attended Berklee College of Music.[4][5]
Career
Her single, "Mad at Disney", was awarded gold by the RIAA and after that she changed her stage name to Salem instead of Salem ilese.[6][7] The song peaked at number 67 on the Billboard Global 200 in 2020,[8] and appeared on the Rolling Stone Top 100 Popular Songs in 2020.[9] Additionally, Ilese co-wrote Jamie Miller's "Here's Your Perfect", Bella Poarch's "Build a Bitch," Tomorrow X Together's "Anti-Romantic", and the viral TikTok trend “PS5” with TXT and Alan Walker. Ilese's lyrics like to challenge points of view that may be controversial to some, such as sexism, as found in "Build a Bitch".[10] Her EP "(L)only Child" was released with a food truck in May 2021.
