Selah Sue biography

Selah Sue (born May 3, 1989) otherwise known Sanne Putseys, is a Belgian soul, hip hop and funk singer-songwriter from Leefdaal, Belgium.

Born in the Belgian town of Leuven but raised in the nearby Leefdaal, Selah Sue learned to play the acoustic guitar aged 15 and began to compose her own songs around the same time. It took virtually no time at all for the talented singer to be raising eyebrows; at just 17 Universal offered her a singing contract although the songwriter turned it down as she wanted to sing her own songs.

After being the youngest and only female act at an Open-Mic night in Lueven, organiser Milow offered her a slot on his supporting programme, which led to warm up performances in London and Paris and major festival appearances.

In January 2009 Selah Sue released her debut EP “Black Part Love” and was supported by a Belgian musical theatre programme Ancienne Belgique, designed for promising acts without labels or management. The singer has regularly appeared on the dutch TV show “De Wereld Draait Door” and a number Flemish shows. In 2010 she hit the major festival circuit in Belgium playing Les Nuits Botaniques, Les Ardentes and Dour Festival among others. Selah Sue released her second EP “Raggamuffin” in October 2010, followed by a support appearance for Prince on his Sportpaleis tour.

The singer songwriter released her eponymously-titled debut album on March 4, 2011. The album peaked at No. 1 on the Belgium Albums Chart and featured the hit singles “This World”, “Crazy Vibes” and the Cee Lo Green collaboration “Please”.

Live reviews

The young, beautiful and soulful songstress that is Selah Sue held the crowd’s rapturous attention from start to finish when I saw her perform back in 2012. The melting pot of jazz, funk, soul and reggae influences that appear in her songs make her a treat to see perform live, have won her much critical acclaim and have led to collaborations with the likes of Cee Lo Green. A talented vocalist and guitarist, Selah Sue’s dynamic stage presence and well versed live support band put on a great show. Her ability to switch between high octane vocal rap riffing and soulful crooning ensured that there was a great range of high energy and more chilled out songs featuring in the set. Most of the songs she performed were taken from the self titled 2011 album - the album that really brought her into the popular spotlight! I particularly enjoyed her acoustic version of ‘Raggamuffin’ and the bouncy groove of ‘Crazy Vibes’, but the Lauryn Hill cover was also an unexpected treat! I would recommend this show to just about anyone and everyone because the atmosphere at the gig was so welcoming and enjoyable!
