BIO FROM WIKIPEDIA:

Suspiria Franklyn (born 14 January 1979) is a Portuguese singer, writer and painter.

Franklyn was born in Lisbon, Portugal. Most famous for her musical work, she started to compose and paint at the age of 14, a turning point to start an artistic career that later on would assume worldwide exposure. Always looking for new ways of expression, she also dedicates some of her time as a journalist, a painter, a producer and a writer. In 1998 she went to college, where she made a degree in Communication and Cultural Science, specialization in journalism.

The curiosity to explore and know different areas made her move to Berlin in 2002, where she lived until 2006. During that period, she had the opportunity to travel a lot and show her work in New York, Los Angeles, London, Amsterdam, Berlin or Vienna, places where she was claimed by the media due to her originality and the way she deals and interprets the general public.

Musically speaking, she is the singer of several bands, such as Les Baton Rouge, Suspicious, Everground, Kiute Loss, Mediatic Slaves and Women Non-Stop. She already recorded seven EP´s and eight LP´s (official records and studio sessions), that rapidly became worldwide, being noticed from Japan to Brazil. The fact that she was able to reach the American CMJ Charts was a plus to be the only Portuguese woman to have her name on the Rock n´ Roll American History.

Her work is so versatile that she is invited very often to collaborate as a singer with other artists (see list below). At the same time, she already made appearances as a guest and an actress in several movies and video clips, as well as a photographic model.

Suspiria always made it with a very personal and particular attitude towards art and life, which is a reflection of herself, her work and her live performances, becoming unique events. That explains why "Screams, Chaos and Sensuality", "Punk Diva" or "The Marlene Dietrich of Punk Rock" were newspaper headlines to describe Suspiria..s live shows.

At the moment, Suspiria lives in Portugal and she had been doing several art exhibitions and working on her first book. Her art gallery websites are called Suspiriart - there you can visit a variable collection of paintings (canvas and paper) made since 1994 till nowadays. In her point of view, one of the main goals in art is to “stop, think and begin the action”.
