Sally Green

Based in Oakland in the California Bay Area, Sally Green develops a repertoire that sits between modern funk, g-funk, boogie and R&B, with flexible vocal writing and a well-honed sense of phrasing drawing on influences from the 1970s and 1980s. Raised in a family of multi-instrumentalists, she has gradually shaped her identity through numerous collaborations with producers from different scenes, both in the United States and internationally, allowing her to move between club formats, contemporary funk and more hip-hop-oriented crossovers. Her name appears on releases linked to labels such as Bastard Jazz, Shogun Audio and Star Creature, and her trajectory also includes collaborations with Kurupt, Rakim, Mofak, Kazzey and Casual. Sally Green is also associated with the street dance world; her music is regularly used in international competitions, a context that highlights the rhythmic and direct character of her work.
