Salome's mother, Cynthia, took up "Belly dance" in the ‘70's. She was the quintessential picture of the time; performing in coined bedlah to the strains of George Abdo and the Flames of Araby Orchestra.

Following in her footsteps, 12 year old Salome joined her mother in formal study with master teacher Kameal. Both went on to join Kameal's troupe, "Bayt al Nejmah", performing exclusively to live music from Joseph Pusey, and Salome's step-father, Kevin Hylton. For many enriching years to follow her family performed with Joseph, Kameal and company.

By seventeen Salome was accepting professional solo engagements in the Pacific NW and after a fashion came to the attention of a foreign talent agency. It was then that her career transitioned abroad with representation from "Showhouse", "Classic Models", and "Rising Stars" among others.
