Sunn - Beast of Burden Blues
SUNN'S BIO:Singer/songwriter Sunn, strikes an impressive figure as an artist who men admire & women adore. Eschewing the monotonous 4/4 beats & cliches of typical Neo Soul, Sunn's sound is an eclectic (yet accessible) melange of timeless music.Born in rural South Carolina (the sixth of eleven children) to strict Pentecostal Holiness minister & missionary parents, Sunn was literally a born soul singer. Forbidden by his father from singing or playing instruments in church, due to his youthful unruliness, Sunn secretly honed his musical skills on borrowed instruments. Within a few years of loitering in pawn shops music stores and often sneaking his oldest brothers drums or guitar, Sunns tenacity paid off. He was self-taught over 20 instruments by the age of 17! It was also at 17 that Sunn left home to seek his place in the musical world.Now a prolific songwriter, singer, poet, performer & producer, Sunn has traveled the world as an independent artist. Being independent helped me learn a delicate balance that makes or breaks the career of an artist... how to say what I need to say and what people want to hear, in the same breath. My music fortunately speaks to, with and for so many people who support me unconditionally. Not bad for a preachers kid who simply had something to say.________________________________________________________ _SUNN (IN HIS OWN WORDS):I dedicate this music to all who ever dare to be the lover of an artist. How many songs, paintings, poems, novels... lives... would not exist without you as our muse? We can be a moody, selfish, promiscuous and paranoid bunch... to say the very least. For your patience, endurance, love, support (emotional and financial), faith and most of all encouragement... we are forever indebted to you. I am forever indebted to you. Selah.Every note and syllable of my music is a captured moment of my life. I dedicate this music to you who shared those moments with me and you who continue to do so. Still, deep down inside there is one most of all that I hope will always be impressed, inspired and in love with my art... and me. I wish you Heaven, pretty girl. Smile. Selah.There are far too many artists, who influenced me, to thank in just one paragraph. Still,I would be remiss if I did not thank at least one, by name. Prince. As an artist, a businessman and a human being you were a beacon in what was once dark space for a poor young Black preacher's kid from the dirt roads of South Carolina. And have I got a funny story for you, when we meet, about how (and from who) you virtually saved my life! Thank you, brother. Selah.To my family, friends and Gullah (Geechee) culture... to The All... I thank you. Selah.

THANKS FOR YOUR
LOVE & SUPPORT!
