SZOU

As heard on Spotify Editorial Playlists and on BBC Introducing radio stations, London-based musician Szou isn’t your ordinary pop artist. From the COVID crisis to body positivity, Szou’s lyrics are a unique take on life and the universe. Fusing euphoric production, energetic beats and soulful vocals, Szou is one of the most exciting electro-pop acts to surface in the UK in recent years. Originally from West Sussex, Szou’s love of electronic music began at a Friendly Fires gig aged 12. After moving to Manchester to study, the city’s thriving dance scene influenced her music-making, powering her desire to move audiences both physically and cerebrally. She aims to make ‘deep pop that makes you dance’. Comparisons to Robyn, Sigrid and the score of ‘Stranger Things’ wouldn’t go amiss.
Since moving to London, Szou has performed in some of London’s most prolific venues such as The Ned, The Grace, The Finsbury and The Sebright Arms. As a recipient of Youth Music’s Next Gen Fund, 2023 is set to be her most successful year to date with several releases and performances planned. Her recent single ‘July’ has had support from Gigwise, 1883 Magazine and from Jodie Bryant.
