E17 - Eliza Salem


Listen Later

Recorded in February 2026

Eliza Salem is a drummer, composer, and educator living in New York. 

Since Eliza’s career is still relatively young, I thought it would a good time to dive into her upbringing, time in college, and what it’s been like building a career and community in New York. 

Hope you enjoy this interview with drummer Eliza Salem!
