Described "like coming in and out of different worlds of music, guided by an incredible voice" and heralded as "one of the best out-of-left-field releases of 2013", the single "Open Your Mind Let Me Out" was nominated for an Independent Music Award.

Following Undone, Saleh released his second full-length album, Antoinette, in 2017 and reached #1 on the Merging Arts World Music Charts and nominated for multiple Independent Music Awards.

The fall of 2020 saw the release of Exoskeleton, his 3rd LP full of lush world orchestration and electronic syncopations.
