Twist Online : Who or what inspired you to get into music industry?
Suzanne Sami : As a kid, I would go home after school to sing on my karaoke machine until I had to go to sleep. It was the most joyful experience. Growing up, I learned how to write songs and fell in love with the process. Eventually I went on to learn how to produce for myself as well.

Suzanne Sami : My EP, ‘If, Then Part 1’ is coming out in mid December. For the last couple of years I’ve produced dozens of songs and came up with a small selection of my favorite ones.

It’s thrilling to have projects like these, the goal is to be sustainable enough to do more.
