About SAILORR
SAILORR’s breakout single, “Pookie’s Requiem,” skyrocketed her to fame in 2024. Raised in Jacksonville, Florida, to Vietnamese immigrant parents, SAILORR’s layered story and limitless talent reflect her ability to turn personal challenges into art. When home life teetered on toxic, SAILORR and her older sister moved out when she was just ten years old, and her sister was 18. The two moved to Miami for a year, as SAILORR watched her sister graduate early and put herself through dental school.
Originally aspiring to be on Broadway, SAILORR changed course and decided to focus on production after high school, and held a series of odd jobs to fund her music while performing at various open mics. In mid-2024, SAILORR started experimenting with releasing her songs online and soon caught the attention of 10K Projects/Atlantic Records. Toward the close of 2024, she released her infectious “Pookie’s Requiem,” the quintessential breakup anthem that leans on inspiration from Requiem of a Dream.
SAILORR’s sound is curated by the world around her, where fantasy meets reality, all while maintaining unbridled authenticity. She released her debut project, From Florida’s Finest, in 2025, which she describes as feeling like “a girls’ road trip up the coast of Florida.” While her steady rise is lightning in a bottle, this is only the beginning. “I want people to realize that I spent a lot of my life struggling with my identity because I never really identified with being super feminine or super masculine,” she advises. “And so, in all sorts of ways I’ve always felt, even in my music, that I’m still learning to truly be fully vulnerable and present. But I have the audacity to think I can do everything.”
