Neshama Selah

Neshama Selah is a Western Australian cross-genre band who write and perform music inspired by the band’s collective Christian faith. After meeting at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) and ECU Christian Union, Kira Gunn, Gabby Lee and Will Pethick formed the group at the start of 2022 with a common vision of writing and performing music that is inspired by scripture and the person of Jesus.

The band is formed on a collective Christian faith, making music that speaks from the most important part of their lives - their identity in Christ. Neshama Selah is a listener-supported endeavor with hopes to make music that enriches Christians in creative ways and glorify God, the Creator. They also endeavor to reach people in Perth's secular creative hotspots where the hope and light of Christ isn't prevalent - the group sees it as outreach in the arts with counter-cultural and thought-provoking music.

Neshama Selah has visited local Perth churches as a guest band assisting in leading worship at services with reimagined hymns. Later in the year, the band welcomed a new member - Rhys Clark. In October 2022, Neshama Selah presented an outreach event - Goodness Unveiled, in collaboration with Perth Chinese Christian Church. At this event, the band wrote and performed 6 new originals based on the gospel narrative. Since then, the band has been in the process of producing an album of crowd favourite originals and arrangements from past events.
