E;R! feat. SUSANA WILLIAMS presents ‘I Belong Here’
“In spring 2020, E;R! and the idea for this interesting musical journey were formed. A studio project of Elvis M. and Robert D. The songs we produce are not bound to one genre. We offer everything (from Rock to … ) and we also invite various artists to lend us their voices for our extremely exciting and diverse songs.”
Susana Williams from CANADA // BRITISH COLUMBIA is the first international artist joining our project. We are extremely proud and excited to have won with her a high class musican and also a good friend.
About Susana:
Susana Williams is a producer and composer based out of the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada. She began her musical career in Caracas, Venezuela at the age of 13 when a professional band began rehearsing in her apartment building’s basement. The group of musicians let her sing one day for a laugh – only to hire her on the spot after recognizing a natural, powerful voice.
From there she began singing everything from folk music to rock and roll while writing her own music and learning to play several instruments.
By the time she was 15, Susana had won best singer at The Festival of New Music in Caracas and was playing four nights a week at local nightclubs while going to high school during the day. By 22 she was a prolific musician performing with famous Venezuelan artists such Frank Quintero and Kiara and collaborated with Pedro Castillo when she was Signed by Airo Music.
In 1998 Susana left Venezuela and immigrated to Canada. She has since released “Latin Roots” (2004), “Dejame Contarte” (EP, July 2020) and “We’re a Memory” (2020), critically acclaimed albums that united some of the best Canadian and Venezuelan musicians on stage.
As a vocalist and percussionist, her Vancouver credits include several Vancouver International Jazz Festivals, the Victoria Jazz Festival, and the 2010 Winter Olympics. She has shared the stage with internationally award- winning artists Arturo Sandoval, Poncho Sanchez, Johnny Rivera, Adonis Puente and Alex Cuba.
Susana can be regularly seen performing in and around Vancouver with the largest Latin-Jazz music orchestra in western Canada, Goma Dura, and as a solo artist. She is also the Musical Director of “Raices y Alas Flamenco” the avant-guard experimental flamenco company based in Vancouver, B.C.
