We’re on a mission to go Behind The Wall with The Greatest Creatives in Entertainment, Welcome to Episode 4! And in this episode we are meeting with one of the most viral singers and songwriters today, Salem Ilese!

Salem Ilese is one of the most viral singers & songwriters on the internet, but you may not know her name. Yet, you probably know her viral hit song, “Mad At Disney” or “PS5”. And you may also know the hit songs she’s written with Bella Poarch, Tomorrow X Together, Alan Walker, and Jamie Miller. But what I bet almost no one knows is that Salem was actually against posting her songs on the viral platform TikTok. In fact, she almost let perfection stop her from posting the video that would change her entire life. So how did it all happen? Well, its about time we find out because my name is Daniel Wall and we’re going Behind The Wall with the one and only, Salem Ilese! Let’s actually speak to Salem about her incredible story, struggles with hate, why she dropped out of college, and how she went from on to write some of the most viral songs on TikTok.
