Suzy V (NL)

About

Suzy V is a Dutch singer songwriter with Sicilian roots, and her sound leans cinematic, warm and soulful, with a streak of Mediterranean drama running through it. Her debut album, Sound of the Sea, made with Wieger Hoogendorp, mixes contemporary pop with Sicilian folk. She also put out the EP Pages Full of Thoughts, and has played radio, TV and stages across the Netherlands, including the Popronde and support slots for Trijntje Oosterhuis and Blackbird. Her most ambitious project is the concept album The Heat Of The Rising Sun, which she made with producer Benjamin Rheinländer and a circle of musician friends. Think of it as a modern opera full of Sicilian drama and mafia flair, where she figuratively bumps off an ex and every track is a chapter, from the motive to the funeral to dividing up the inheritance. Heartbreak turns into strength, with a dark edge and a wink.
