Thai pride comes first. Salin, or Salin Cheewapansri, is a drummer, producer and songwriter who was born and raised in Thailand before moving to North America at 20 to chase a dream. She's carved out a place in Canada's jazz scene and made waves internationally – most memorably through a performance on live platform KEXP, where she sat behind the kit in traditional Thai dress. Early 2025 saw her return to Thai stages for the first time with a set at Bangkok Design Week, leaving a proper mark on home crowds.
Her work on Dominique's album landed a Juno Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year in 2019. Not long after, Salin put out her own debut, Cosmic Island – a mix of jazz, soul, funk and groove inspired by her thesis research into river pollution back in Thailand. The album took her on tour across the US and Europe, and in 2025 she came back with Rammana, a project that pulls together afro-jazz, funk and Thai folk music through themes of identity, spirit and joy. It earned her a spot as one of CBC's 2025 Revelation Artists, putting her among the rising voices in Canadian music.
