ASCer, Susan Muranty Music & Art has a new album coming out and we can't wait! She is a brilliant artist and songwriter so check out 'Darkness Illuminates Our Light' - out May 1st!

“Ten gorgeous tracks … ten sparks of light for the darkness of our times.” Getting super excited for the launch of my new album, Darkness Illuminates Our Light, next week on Friday May 1. It’s taken a long time to pull this one together but I really believe all artistic works have their own clock and their own way of arriving in the world - and this album has definitely chosen “now” as its time.

I’ve had such beautiful help from so many wonderful people too - my talented co-writers, Elizabeth Usher, Elena Giordano, Mark Hall, Sven Tydeman and Ritchie Neville and my equally fabulous producers, Matt Fell, Michael Carpenter and Sven Tydeman with some magic mastering by William Bowden. Hayley Jensen’s unwavering belief in me has been vital in giving me the grit to hold fast to my unique artistic vision, while Michelle Pitsiris of She Is Aphrodite captured me so perfectly in “darkness” mode for the PR photos that for a moment I think I really did become the spirit of this album cover 😂

Looking forward so much to sharing more stories - and lots of lovely songs - with you very soon. In the meantime, if you’d like to support me, just follow the link in the Bio to pre-order Darkness Illuminates Our Light on iTunes!!! And thank-you for listening to my music - I truly love creating it for you ❤️🥰❤️

If you want a music publisher to take your track seriously, these three must-haves are non-negotiable. 🎵
Most publishers treat songs like investments - so the question is: is your song ready for the market?
Dial in your demo quality, get your paperwork clean, and craft a hook they’ll never forget.
Your next opportunity could be one submission away.✨
