About Me

Hello, my name is Surianne.I was born on the 'Rock ' of Gibraltar ... Gibraltar is situated at the southern tip of Europe, neighbouring Spain and Morocco, and is one of Britain's few remaining colonies. But best of all... it's VAT free!I am an independent singer / songwriter playing a mix of Latin / Rock / Folk fusion. For over 4 years, I've been performing in and outside the UK in venues & festivals such as The Carling Academy Islington, The Twelve Bar, Gibraltar St.Michaels Cave, The Princes Trust Regional Awards Ceremony, The London International Music Show 2008, The Stockton on Tees Riverside Festival 2007, Water Aid 2007, The Beverley Folk Festivals 2006, Nottingham Riverside Festival 2006, Drop in The Ocean 2005, Birmingham International Festival 2005, Gibraltar Rock Concert 2004 & 2005 and Nottingham Arboretum Festival 2004. I have been a support act for artists such as Edwina Hayes, Suzanne Vega, Breed 77 and Steve Balsamo and in 2005, I was nominated for a Birmingham Music Award for best Unsigned / Unplugged Act in the Midlands.My music style is derived from a blend of various cultures, inspired by warm summer nights and Mediterranean grooves. I remain loyal to my roots being strongly influenced by the fusion of acoustic guitar sounds and driving percussive rhythms and my songs are comprised of infectious melodies and soaring vocals, complemented by my bandmates; talented friends who's understanding of my music has helped create what you hear.My music is currently receiving airplay in a number of internet radio stations as well as FM radio stations such as BBC China, BFBS Gibraltar, The A list Sessions at pulserated.com, Sheffield Live FM, WHSmith and Bookers Cash & Carry unsigned show in the UK and Sky channel 905 in the UK.I enjoy writing, performing and I appreciate many different styles of music. I am always open to new projects and influences and I try to get involved in as many collaborations as possible; in Dec 2005 I co – wrote and featured in ‘Amor’, a track that forms part of The Reggaeton Allstars project released in the USA and in Jan 2006 I featured in Ted Mauls debut single ‘And We Tolerate The Sickness’.I hope that you enjoy my music.Keep on smiling,Surianne.
