SELAH SUE
Sanne Putseys, known professionally as Selah Sue, was born on May 3, 1989, in Leuven, Belgium. At the age of 15, she learned to play the guitar and began writing her own songs. Influenced by artists like Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu, she adopted the stage name Selah Sue.
Initially, Sanne Putseys balanced her music career with psychology studies at the Catholic University of Leuven. She believes that studying psychology helped her better understand human emotions, which also influenced her music. Eventually, she decided to fully dedicate herself to music and began performing as a supporting act for artists like Jamie Lidell in London and Paris. She also played with the Belgian group Novastar at the Paradiso in Amsterdam.
In 2008, she released her EP "Black Part Love," which contains five songs. In 2009, Selah Sue performed at festivals such as the North Sea Jazz Festival and the Lowlands Festival. Additionally, she was a regular guest on Dutch television programs like 'De Wereld Draait Door.'

This album includes hits like 'Raggamuffin,' 'Crazy Vibes,' and 'This World.' Her second album, 'Reason,' was released in 2015 and received a gold certification from the Independent Music Companies Association, indicating sales of at least 75,000 copies across Europe.
Her career took off rapidly, with appearances at major festivals and collaborations with renowned artists. Despite her success, Selah Sue has been open about her struggles with depression.
