Norwegian artist Susanna is the woman behind Susanna and the Magical Orchestra // Susanna // Susanna Wallumrød, a creator of bold, original and enrapturing music, capable of building worlds to lose yourself in and collaborator with artists such as Jenny Hval and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.

Alongside this Susanna has also long been an interpreter of other people's works, from AC/DC to Dolly Parton, Joy Division to Henry Purcell. Susanna has an ability to transform these works into music that sits comfortably next to her own work while never losing what made the original – and the original composer of the song – so special.

Based in Oslo, the singer/songwriter and artist Susanna formed her Susanna and the Magical Orchestra duo in 2000 for exquisite, minimalistic interpretations of pop songs, both mainstream and leftfield. Since 2007 her songwriting has travelled in multiple directions.

2020's Baudelaire & Piano received 4/5 stars in The Guardian, Irish Times in addition to being Critic's Choice in The Financial Times.

2022 has seen a follow up to 2020's Baudelaire & Piano with Elevation, where Susanna joins forces with tape-wizard Stina Stjern and improvisor/composer Delphine Dora for truly magical interpretations of Baudelaire's poetry.

She is a three-times winner of Norwegian Grammys for previous releases.
