Saleka Shyamalan makes her acting debut in the upcoming film ‘Trap,’ which was written and directed by her dad, M. Night Shyamalan
Saleka Shyamalan took notes on Taylor Swift’s pop culture impact while creating her character, Lady Raven, and all the original music for her and dad M. Night Shyamalan’s new film, Trap.
Saleka stars as Lady Raven in Trap, the pop star performing at a massive concert that is being used to catch an infamous serial killer known as The Butcher , who has taken his daughter to see the show. “It is very much myself and I wanted to make an album that I felt connected to and that I loved, so I tried to find connective tissue between me and Lady Raven,” she explained. “ also what's going on in the movie for each song and take inspiration from that but make it lyrics that I would like to sing and that I'd have fun with, hopefully getting to sing these songs for the rest of my life and feel connected to them.
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. Once the script was finished, Saleka used it as source material to give perspective to the music.
Saleka added that her own family is equally as tight-knit: “My parents and my siblings and I are all very close, especially my dad; he's a rock of our family,” she said. “My sisters and I are best friends, so we do have that kind of familial love at the core of everything that keeps us grounded and sane while everything else is crazy around .”
