Saleka Shyamalan on Writing Music for ‘Trap’ Alongside Dad M. Night
Saleka Shyamalan makes her acting debut in the upcoming film ‘Trap,’ which was written and directed by her dad, M. Night Shyamalan
The soundtrack boasts 14 original songs, each crafted specifically to the script and narrative of the film by blending Saleka’s classical piano training with her distinct dark-pop-R&B production and tonality. As M. Night — best known for The Sixth Sense, Signs, The Village and more — and Saleka have always shared an appreciation for music-driven films, the duo essentially built the concept of Trap during kitchen table conversations. Channeling the acts of a serial killer into chord progressions and finger slides is no easy feat, but beyond Trap’s more horror-esque elements is a story about the love between fathers and daughters.
