Susan Augustt — A Versatile Artiste with a Cultural Touch

Susan Augustt is an abundantly gifted singer-songwriter who moves seamlessly between genres and styles. She creates neo-soul, jazz, and choral modern melodies that are poignantly blended with traditional Ghanaian music. Indigenous Ghanaian rhythms such as highlife, agbadza, and kpanlogo influence her fusion with soul, crafting a unique live sound that takes listeners on a satisfying journey of culture and taste.

Born of Gã-Eʋe descent and having spent her early years in Obuasi, a suburb of the Ashanti Region in Ghana, she believes these multicultural experiences have contributed to her versatility in music. In addition to English, she sings in two local languages, Twi and Gã.

Susan studied Psychology at the University of Ghana, where she elevated her musical journey by becoming a part-time lounge singer, performing at hotels, lounges, and private events. Susan began her career as a recording artist in 2019 and recorded her first EP, the Effects EP, a trio of songs as her introduction to her audience.

One thing is certain: Susan is a live music artist who embraces every chance to light up a stage with her performance. In collaboration with her manager and artist development coach, she assembled one of the best young, talented music bands, ADORKOR, to continue her dream. Their album, Adorkor Volume 1, showcases the versatility of her 10-piece band. Susan Augustt is revitalizing the live music scene in her region and expresses herself best on stage.
