About Session Vocals & Songwriting
Who I Am
I got into music a bit late, so I make up for it by diving into every project with full energy. If you're all about making music that's fun, honest, and a little bit "cringe" (in a good way), I’m your person. Creating makes me happiest, and I love working with others who feel the same.
What I Do
- Need vocals? I’ve got a soulful voice and I’m happy to adapt. I’m most comfy with Indie Pop, Pop, and R&B, but honestly, I’ll give anything a shot.
- Trained in classical music (yeah, I can do German opera too), so I can handle tricky melodies or just vibe along.
- I sing in English, a bit of Tamil, and, thanks to my Mallu roots, can add Malayalam flavour if you want. Soulful session vocals in Malayalam? No problem.
- Stuck on lyrics or melody? I love helping folks finish their songs and build them up from scratch.
- I play guitar and can help you lock down a chord progression or structure your song.
- Collaboration is my jam - I’ve worked with bands, producers, and solo artists.
How I Work
- I believe music should be fun and real. Sometimes inspiration is instant, other times, my neighbour decides to start welding the moment I pick up my guitar. We’ll roll with it and get the take.
- Home studio setup for remote vocal recording for indie tracks, or in-person if you’re in Kochi or Bangalore.
If you want to turn a voice note into a full song or just need a lead vocal, let’s make something special together, chakkare (darling).

My Story
Hey, I’m Susanna. Born somewhere between Kochi and Bangalore, curls wild as my thoughts. Music didn’t come early for me, but now it’s my safe place. You’ll catch me with my guitar, complaining about noisy welders or just goofing off with family. My sister beats pizza, that’s saying something. My world’s dogs, cats, cutlets, jambakka, and loads of shitposting. I’m all about being cringe and free, singing like a lazy man, making stuff messy and real. If I can start late, so can you.
My Work
Singer-Songwriter for Gigs & Events - I do indie-pop acoustic gigs, covers, and originals for cafes or chill spaces. Solo or with friends.
Multilingual Covers & Originals - Love singing in English, Malayalam, Tamil. I twist songs my way - Billie Eilish, AR Rahman, you name it.
Original Heartfelt Singles - Just released my first single 'Snowflake' - all about love and floating feelings. I write what hits home.
Singer-Songwriter Collaboration - Always up for jamming or lending my voice. If you want to create together, I’m in.
