Sallay-Matu Garnett, (stage-name: Loah) and Emma Garnett (stage-name: Feather/Fehdah), are Irish singer-songwriters of Sierra Leonean 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, a qualified pharmacist,[3] contributed to Hozier's debut album, and in 2019 played Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar in the Barbican Theatre, London.[4]

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.[5][6] At the end of 2020, Loah appeared as a guest on RTÉ's music programme Soundtrack to My Life with Kodaline and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra (plus Jack L and presenter Nicky Byrne).[7][8][9][10]

Loah also starred in the 2022 film adaptation of Sally Rooney's novel Conversations with Friends as a character called Evelyn, who is also a singer. Loah performed alongside Jemima Kirke, Joe Alwyn, and Sasha Lane.[11]
