Luthea Salom

The Spanish indie folk singer-songwriter Luthea Salom was born in Barcelona. Her parents emigrated to Fredericton, Canada, when Luthea was a baby. They lived there for several years before returning to their home town in Catalonia where they opened an art gallery. Luthea started performing and writing music at the age of 13 and she soon appeared in several festivals around Spain. As a teenager she moved to London where she joined several local bands as a guitar player and backing vocalist. In 1999 she recorded a demo with her original songs and was soon spotted by the Ex- Apple Records (Spain) AR, Frank Andrada, who signed her to his independent label. Based in New York City, she has released four albums, like for instance 'The Little Things We Do' (2013, Subterfuge Records). Her work has been shortlisted for the Grammy Awards and she was a finalist for Rolling Stone Magazine contest Termómetro RS with her song "Tomorrow". With her videos 'Blank Piece of Paper' and 'Be Me' she has won several awards in numerous contests like International Motion Art Awards by AI-AP (American Illustration and American Photography) as well as International Songwriting Competition or Crank Your Cred and she has appeared on many Spanish National TV shows. In September 2014 Luthea Salom was asked by Spanish actress Leticia Dolera to write the soundtrack for her first movie as a scriptwriter and director. The film originally titled 'Requisitos Para Ser Una Persona Normal' won 5 prizes on the 18th edition of Festival de Malaga, and it has been in theaters across Spain since June 4, 2015.
