A classically trained vocalist, she blends jazz, pop, and blues into a distinctive singer-songwriter style.While studying law in Paris, Suze reconnected with her passion for music, performing in jazz clubs and on the streets. She later moved to London to refine her sound, ultimately leaving law behind to pursue music full-time.With an extensive vocal range, unique tone, and evocative lyricism, Suze captivates audiences with authenticity and charm. Influenced by artists such as Etta James, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Leonard Cohen, her sound is instinctively melodic and refreshingly unformulaic.00:00 Coming up00:56 Guest Introduction02:02 That first step into music03:20 New Zealand, Family & Exposure to music06:10 Teaching myself music08:40 Being a rebel & law school11:12 New Zealand not big enough16:51 All about Paris24:50 Beans, oaths and busking29:17 Best experience of busking31:20 Community and divorcing law37:34 Creative process41:44 Lyric deep dive - Lovers lament48:10 Difficult music situation49:40 Best thing about music50:50 success53:11 Korak playlistLISTEN TO OUR PODCASTShttps://open.spotify.com/show/57M9S1mwv17I2OLEXIp1GWAnd wherever you listen to your podcasts
