From Writing “Mad at Disney” to Producing “Dirty Martini” — Salem Ilese on Becoming the Artist She Needed

In this episode of Producer Points, Justin sits down with platinum-selling artist, songwriter, and now producer Salem Ilese — the creative force behind viral anthems like “Mad at Disney,” “PS5,” and “Build a Bitch” (with Bella Poarch).

But this conversation is about more than just writing hits. It’s about creative evolution. Salem opens up about stepping into production, owning her sound, and what it’s taken to become the artist she spent years writing for.

🎶 Song deep dives:

  • “hahaha” — self-producing vulnerable lyrics with bold sonic textures

  • “Dirty Martini” — finding the line between confidence and chaos, and how this song redefined her sound

🎛️ We explore:

  • Writing hits for Bella Poarch, TXT, Ava Max & more

  • Learning production and taking full creative control

  • Her plug-ins and setup: RC-20, Baby Audio, Leapwing, Output Portal & more

  • Balancing artist and songwriter identities

  • What she wishes she knew earlier — and what she’d tell any young producer trying to do both
