Sallay-Matu Garnett, (stage-name: Loah) and Emma Garnett (stage-name: Feather/Fehdah), are Irish singer-songwriters of Sierra-Leone descent.[1][2] They perform individually, but have contributed to each other's work.[1] They have written in English, Sherbro and Krio.[1] Sallay contributed to Hozier's debut album, and in 2019 played Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar in the Barbican Theatre, London.[3]
In 2020, Loah was part of an Irish collective of female singers and musicians called Irish Women in Harmony, that recorded a version of Dreams in aid of the charity SafeIreland, which deals with domestic abuse which had reportedly risen significantly during the Covid-19 lockdown.[4][5]
