About Me



Siuan is truly an original singer/songwriter. Its hard to come up with a relevant comparison for this sort-of folk, sort-of punk, melodic songwriter with a distinctly haunting, but quirky voice. Maybe if Debbie Harry and Patti Smith had a love-child, she might sound (and even look) something like Siuan. Other attempts at classification include Bruce Springsteen meets the GoGo's or Neil Diamond meets PJ Harvey. Off-center comparisons for an off-center artist. Siuan bangs out songs on her acoustic guitar that are sometimes hilarious, other times emotionally profound, but always lyrically mind-boggling. Siuan's meandering background in philosophy, mathematics, rocket science, and art finds its way into songs that could only be crafted by this globe-trotting, modern, renaissance, culture junkie.Formerly fronting the L.A. based all-girl, indie-rock band The Renders, Siuan now takes to the stage alone with just an acoustic guitar.
