Abstract

Susan Odambo, also known by her artist moniker Suzziah Odambo is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Nairobi, Kenya. Her artistic journey is marked by constant evolution and finding ways to better express herself through sound, vulnerable lyricism and lush melodies. As an artist she believes it is important to stay true to the story you want to tell and write from the deepest part of your chest. This lesson was learnt by Suzziah the hard way. Pursuing a career in art was always a dream for her and she worked at it relentlessly in the Kenyan music industry but she wasn’t ready for what would happen when it worked out. Writing a hit song got her a bit of the fame and momentum she wanted but it pulled her even further away from her true artistic mission. “Everything is meaningless.” concludes the Teacher in the Biblical Scripture of Ecclesiastes and this was evident for Suzziah as she tried to navigate the ups and downs of a music career. While pursuing the masters degree program at Berklee NYC years later, Suzziah’s intentionality and vision was sharpened by all the writing and re-writing she had to do and the EP 'Crimson' was the result of that. It is a sonic depiction of her personal walk with Jesus Christ and the story of how His blood cleansed her.
