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 being one of the UK’s most innovative and precocious creative minds. Inspired as much by his close network of peers as cinematic soundscapes, he has made impacts spanning music, fashion and film, soundtracking some of the most important cultural moments in recent years, as well as building a catalogue of prolific, critically acclaimed solo releases that traverse genre, style and composition.

Announcing his highly anticipated second album, Romeo, set for release in Nov 2021, he has shared intimate comeback singles “Only Seeing God When I Come” and “Angel On My Shoulder”. Telling the story of a relationship between Bodega and a mythical girlfriend made of light, “Luci”, "Romeo" channels the whirlwind of emotions in early love through masterful break-beat and experimental electronica production, interwoven with ethereal synths and harmonising choral vocals.

2020 saw the release of Bodega’s debut album, "Salvador", now lauded as a critical success. Alongside his solo activity, he been a crucial hand in countless projects including the development of artists under his NUXXE label, and acclaimed production for artists including Oklou, Shygirl and Zebra Katz. With an ever-expanding list of creative endeavours and more to come for the rest of 2021, Sega Bodega is poised to enter the pantheon of pop’s great polymaths.
