Persian-Swedish recording artist Snoh Aalegra’s favorite sound is rain.
“I love melancholy,” says the 29-year old artist. “I got that from being in Sweden a lot and being in London where it rains a lot. I love that vibe.”Aalegra’s voice reflects so much more than just the Swedish gloom, however. It embodies a soulful sound reminiscent of Michael Jackson, Nina Simone, and Lauryn Hill yet finds its own power, and connectivity, through Aalegra’s signature croon. So its no wonder she’s sampled on Drakes latest full length album “More Life”.

 

Her undeniable talent has allowed her to collaborate with music’s most influential voices and producers such as Drake, Common, John Mayer , James Fauntleroy No ID and Boi-1da, DJ Dahi and RZA. She captured the imagination of icon and legend Prince who mentored her for 2 years before his untimely passing in 2016.
