Zuzu Stranack wrote her first song Witches From Hell at the tender age of seven, but it wasn’t until she was 14 that she started taking her own music making seriously. At 18, she signed a publishing deal. By September 2016, she was 22 then, her debut single Get Off came out. A great song, showcasing the British singer’s love for acts like Pavement and Courtney Barnett. In 2017, Zuzu took some time away from music, but last February she was, unexpectedly she says, snapped up by major label Virgin Records.

Last Friday, 4 May, Zuzu turned 24 and as a birthday present, she released a new single: Beauty Queen. Another great song with glorious choruses and catchy hooks. It precedes her debut EP Made On Earth By Humans, which will be out in June.
