Influenciada por el Hip Hop desde la infancia, Santa Salut nace el 1998 en Sabadell, cerca de Barcelona. Se mueve por las calles de la misma ciudad cuando empieza a escribir a los 16 con unas claras referencias dadas por el Rap de los 80, 90 y 00. 

Pisa por primera vez el escenario a principios de 2018 moviéndose entre pequeños clubs y locales de Barcelona reflejando la cultura Hip Hop en sus canciones que también mantienen una temática social, revolucionaria y feminista junto a ritmos energéticos. 

En 2018 lanza su primera maqueta "Conversaciones Internas" y  publica singles como: Bala Perdida, 90 Retro, Marcada, Herida Abierta,...Santa Salut es sinónimo de actitud, dinámica y alta expresividad en el escenario. En 2021 participo en COLORS SHOW y actualmente esta preparando su siguiente álbum.
