A listener once likened their music to “watching the sunset and eating hot chippies at the beach.” Beautiful harmonies and soulful melodies wrapped around candid lyrics pouring out the rawness of life and love.

The Venopian Solitude has been setting tongues wagging with their eclectic brand of music ranging from indie and folk to hip hop and sometimes plain whacky. The Malaysian founder goes by the moniker Suiko Takahara, an enigmatic female singer-songwriter whose numerous bedroom YouTube recordings gained her attention in the music industry. From a one-woman show, the act evolved into a full-fledged band which earned three local music award nominations in 2014 and they have since performed in various countries as far flung as Canada.
