Bio
Behiye (Be) Suren is an Australian born singer/songwriter based between Sydney and Istanbul. Her original fusion folk music (in English and Turkish) weaves the rhythms and melodies of her two homelands with sensual, earthy lyrics about love, identity and ancestry. Her velvet voice is rich and heart opening.
Behiye’s upcoming Australian Arts Council funded album ‘To Home Seas’ was written and recorded across geographical continents (in New Zealand, Cairns, Istanbul, Sydney) with the support of talented global musicians. Behiye will launch the album through the Undercover Music/Rouseabout Records folk label in September 2020.

Fearless Voices – Why me? Why this work?
Why is this my life purpose? This is best answered through a story, so let me tell it to you....it is the story about a fearless voice that was buried deep inside of me, that found her way out through music. As I mentioned in a recent post, she's the reason I'm a...

Let me tell you a story…about my new album

Invisibility …. why do we hide?
We become invisible when we hide behind relationships, because we are afraid of life and want to be ‘rescued’. When I wrote this song, I had no clue that the need for a ‘rescuer’ would only ever attract controlling, cold partners to me. I hadn’t yet understood that there would never be a ‘saviour’ outside of learning to love myself.
