Suru's Saga

This is not just my story, it is our story. 

​

I've always felt like a bit of an outsider - the odd one out.

Or that is until I found music, and we became best friends, baes. Wherever I went, my bae came along with me. We gave each other comfort, a sense of safety, and a way to process scary and unfamiliar feelings. 

​

And finally, it was like we needed each other; music needed me as much as I needed it. It needed to be heard and it started channeling through me, and that's when I started my musical saga. But I've never wanted to be the face of my music. I've always felt that the music I create is nothing for me to embody. After many twists and turns, I ended up building a character to give a face to that fictional entity "Music", and then started to create a story around that character. 

I wanted to give the character a name that somehow reflects emotions, so I ended up naming her one of the strongest feelings ever; Suru (Sorrow in Finnish). It states the fact that music has been my most loyal friend, even when things go dark. And for me as a sensitive and creative person, it’s a real struggle sometimes.

​

At some point, I caught myself thinking that someone else might need a bae too but has not yet discovered it might not be another human, or that you can find one within yourself. I hope Suru can be that to you.

You can listen to Suru's Saga as songs; every episode has its own title song and read more about them here. I hope the stories give you inspiration and comfort if you're a loner just like me.

You are with BAEs now, pinky promise.

So, let's begin...
