Snoh Aalegra

Iranian singer and songwriter Snoh Aalegra is one of the most exciting voices in recent time. Her sound evokes the soulful essence of her idols such as Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, yet lined with an authenticity and raw emotion that is unparalleled and a deep sense of outsiderdom that is largely universal. Her music heavily draws from her life experiences and challenges as a person who’s long felt like an outsider and now coming into her own. Her breakout 2017 ‘FEELS’ album introduced her as a major force as it received large acclaim and global recognition. Including praise from some of music’s heavyweights such as the iconic Prince, who was her mentor for two years before he passed, and luminary hip hop producer No I.D. In addition, she’s already collaborated with celebrated artists and producers such as Pharell, Drake, Common, John Mayer, Vince Staples, James Fauntleroy, Boi-1da, DVSN, DJ Dahi, RZA and many more. Her latest album ‘-Ugh, those feels again’ catapulted Snoh into stardom. It debuted as the #1 R&B album on iTunes and received large critical acclaim from NPR, Pitchfork, The Atlantic, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, i-D, Associated Press, W Magazine, Paper Magazine, Women’s Wear Daily and many more. The album delves into the forces and feelings that fill the walls of her sound and mind - self love, independence, alienation, anxiety, toxic relationships and love, growth and hopefulness. Alongside the massive success of her album, her song “I Want You Around” hit #1 on national Urban AC radio and Billboard’s Adult R&B Songs chart. She closed out 2019 by selling out two major headlining US tours within just minutes. In early 2020, Snoh unveiled her striking Tiny Desk performance that broke records for NPR amassing over 1 million views in just a few days. Snoh was also nominated for Artist of the Year and Album of the Year at the Swedish Grammys in 2019. In early 2019, Snoh made her explosive runway debut as the star of Mugler’s Paris Fashion Show, and has quickly become a darling in the fashion world. In July 2020, Snoh released a new song “Dying 4 Your Love”, ushering in a new era for Snoh, all while further cementing her position as one of the most celebrated artists out today. Most recently, Snoh made her US late night TV debut with a striking performance of her song “Whoa” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “Whoa” is currently in the top 10 at Urban AC radio and growing.
