PA SALIEU wearing ALEXANDER McQUEEN COVERS WONDERLAND AUTUMN 2020 ISSUE

“I can talk all I want, but I know I won’t be sidetracked.

No one can come between what I’m planning.”

Last July at Lovebox festival, DJ and broadcaster Tiffany

Calver brought Pa Salieu out to perform live for the first

time to a crowd who, for the most part, didn’t yet know

his name. “I’m telling you, that day pushed me. After

that day, it’s like I can see it in the horizon like you can

see the sun rising,” he says now, reflecting on how that

vision has come to life this year since dropping his

breakout track, “Frontline”, in January.

Catching up with Calver for our Autumn issue, Salieu

reflects on his early years spent in Gambia and the

values his family instilled in him, as well as the lessons

he learned moving to Coventry and why the recognition

he’s experiencing isn't phasing him at all. Looking to

the future, he talks about a new mixtape in the works,

the impact he wants to have beyond music, what else

is on the horizon and why establishing his name is

only the first step.
