Fast-rising DJ and producer Felix Nyajo – aka salute – was born in Vienna, and developed their love of music based on influences from their family, video game soundtracks and delving into the archives of YouTube. They started making tracks on a cracked copy of FL Studio, experimenting with a variety of sounds and genres.
It’s when Nyajo moved to the UK that their sound as salute solidified though. Initially living in Brighton, before settling in their current home of Manchester, exposure to the city’s club scene and creative bonds formed with a host of other local artists helped form salute’s distinctive take on house music, which channels elements of soul, French touch and a healthy dose of pop songwriting.
