Sega Bodega - Topic

Born in Ireland, raised in Glasgow and now based in London, producer, performer and label head Sega Bodega - AKA Salvador Navarrete - has built a reputation as one of the UK’s most innovative and precocious creative minds. His impact spans music, fashion and film, soundtracking some of the most important cultural moments in recent years, as well as building a catalogue of solo releases that traverse genre, style and composition. 

His 2021 album Romeo showcases an otherworldly production style that has marked him as a pioneer within the alternative and electronic worlds. Romeo includes collabs with Arca and Charlotte Gainsbourg and critically lauded singles "I Need Nothing From You," "Angel On My Shoulder," and "Only Seeing God When I Come." Following the release of Romeo, Sega toured the UK/US/EU, drawing sold out crowds to unite in introverted, ethereal mastery. 

A true multi-hyphenate, alongside his two solo albums, Bodega has been a crucial hand in countless projects over the past decade, from the development of artists under his NUXXE label, to production for the likes of Caroline Polachek (new single ‘Sunset’), Oklou, Shygirl + more. A keen soundtracker, Bodega scored Nike’s 2018 Jumpman ad and contributed to Rihanna’s Puma x Fenty show at NYFW.

In late 2022, Sega released new single “Kepko”, hinting at new music to come. With an ever-expanding list of creative endeavours to come for 2023 and beyond, he is poised to enter the pantheon of pop’s great polymaths.
