"From her early teens, Su was drawn to music, taking singing lessons and mastering the piano. She found inspiration within the electronic sounds of artists like Charli XCX and SOPHIE, eventually leading her to London to pursue music production at BIMM. Collaborating with innovative talents like Big Softy's s.g. cackle helped shape her unique sound, blending clunky, avant-garde guitar riffs with pop sensibilities."
"Her recent work reflects a raw honesty, especially in her upcoming EP, "I'm Not Rich Enough to Have Shame," set for release in late 2025. The project explores themes of discomfort and ambition with a humorous yet sincere touch. Tracks like "Guestlist" showcase her lighthearted approach, while "The Girls" captures an effervescent spirit of anthemic hedonism. After a successful tour with fellow queer artists, Su is gearing up for a three-month residency at Bermondsey's Avalon Café and Spanners, venues pivotal to her journey in London."
Su Krikken, known as Su, I Think, is a 26-year-old singer-songwriter and producer from Derby who creates introspective, eclectic pop. The new single "The Girls" examines the complexities of womanhood with an effervescent, anthemic tone. Early musical training on piano and singing combined with electronic influences from Charli XCX and SOPHIE led Su to study music production at BIMM in London. Collaborative work with peers like s.g. cackle shaped a sound that mixes avant-garde guitar textures with pop hooks. An upcoming EP titled I'm Not Rich Enough to Have Shame will explore discomfort and ambition while balancing humor and sincerity. Recent touring with queer artists, a planned three-month London residency, and endorsements from Charli XCX and Shygirl position Su for larger festival stages and high-budget productions.
