Saleka Shyamalan, the eldest child of M. Night Shyamalan who grew up in Bryn Mawr, is following her father into showbiz with the release of her first album, “Seance,” writes Victor Fiorillo for the Philadelphia Magazine.

This debut shows the 26-year-old’s love for R&B as well as her intense classical training. But despite her first album just being released, Shyamalan is already busy working on her next one.

“Writing music for me feels very exciting and a natural element of my life,” she said. “I’m always writing. I worked on another musical project for my dad’s TV show, ‘Servant,’ earlier this year. It’s been really interesting releasing two projects in one year and meanwhile working on a third.”

Her first single from the album came out back in 2020, but the entire project was put on hold due to the pandemic. Still, the time gave the musician the opportunity to expand her knowledge of the process.

“This album was a learning process in every way. Not just in how to write music and produce it, but also how to release it and make videos,” said Shyamalan.
