Saleka Night Shyamalan (born August 1, 1996), known mononymously as Saleka, is an American singer-songwriter and actress.[1][2] She is the daughter of director M. Night Shyamalan and was cast as a fictional popstar, Lady Raven, in his thriller film Trap (2024). As a singer, she has performed songs for her father's projects such as the Apple TV+ series Servant (2019–2023) and his films Old (2021) and Trap (2024), and also released her first studio album Seance (2023).

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Saleka is the eldest daughter of filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan.[3][4] She and her sisters grew up watching horror films.[5][6]

Saleka studied classical piano as a child but decided to pursue singing and songwriting. She studied Literary Arts and Music at Brown University.[7]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Saleka has opened for acts like Boyz II Men, Baby Rose and Summer Walker.[7] Upon debuting her first single, "Clarity", in September 2020, Refinery29 called Saleka "a new artist to watch".[8] Saleka frequently collaborates with her younger sister, Ishana, who has directed a majority of her music videos.[9][10]

Her debut album, Seance, was released in late 2022.[11][12] Saleka recorded the majority of Seance at MilkBoy studios, Philadelphia.[13]

In 2021, Saleka released "The Sky Cries" for the second season of Servant. The music video for the single was directed by her father, M. Night Shyamalan.[14] She released three more songs for the third season of the series. The four songs were compiled in an EP, released on March 25, 2022. Within the show's canon, Saleka's songs are said to be from the never-seen, in-show performer, Vivian Dale, who has died tragically.[15][16]

In June 2022, Giveon announced Saleka as one of four supporting acts for his North American Give or Take Tour on August and September 2022.[17]

Saleka made her acting debut in her father's film Trap (2024), for which she also wrote fourteen songs.[18][19] Her soundtrack album for the film, Lady Raven, was released on August 2, 2024.[20]
