About

Salem Roberts is a Nashville-based songwriter and visual artist whose work bridges music, story, and design. Known for his emotionally charged songs and reverb-drenched guitar work, he crafts music that feels both intimate and expansive — rooted in Southern stillness and handmade intimacy, reaching upward with steady conviction.

Drawing from his background in visual storytelling and creative direction, Roberts brings a rare intentionality to every lyric, tone, and texture.

He is passionate about creating alternate spaces within the everyday, allowing for inspiration, intersubjective exchange, and human connection.

Roberts has collaborated on content for Nissan and LinkedIn and has provided creative direction for TED at UPS speakers and consumer brands distributed through Whole Foods.

His work has supported educators, public figures, and mission-driven brands, but his songs remain personal — tracing the quiet resilience of long-term love.

His work has been hailed as "Playful" (Fubiz), "Entertaining" (The Creator's Project), and “A personal exploration of the everyday . . . and the out of this world." (VICE)

He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies with emphases in English Literature and Religion from Middle Tennessee State University and has been a cohort of Art21 Educators. He is currently working on a Master of Arts in Songwriting at Berklee College of Music.
