Sanyu beskrives af Gaffa som "en af de kunstnere, der med et smil giver en fuckfinger til alle musikjournalister, der helst vil putte kunstnere i industriformede genrekasser."
Hun har allerede optrådt på flere festivaler i Norge, Danmark, Sverige, Tyskland og Egypten, og i april udgav hun debutalbummet Circumspect. Udgivelsen følges af en turné med koncerter i Nordeuropa, fra Oslo til København og Berlin. I marts 2025 blev den irsk-ugandiske artist, med base i Oslo, tildelt Lyspunkt-prisen fra det Norske Tekstforfatterfondet for sine lyriske værker fra året inden, og senere NOPAs tekstpris for digtet You Don’t Hear It (Do You?).
Debut-EP-en Now You Hear It blev beskrevet som ”et bevis på ægte kunstnerskab og dedikation til håndværket” af Beehype og valgt som deres norske favorit til Best Albums of 2024. På scenen har hun med sig nogen af de mest distinkte musikerne inden for den unge, norske jazz- og elektroniske scene. Rino Sivathas på trommer, multiinstrumentalist, Kristina Fransson og Joachim Mørch Meyer på kontrabas, udviser både en ro og eksplosivitet i samspil med hinanden.
Med baggrund i R&B og improvisation bærer musikken præg af et sjælfuldt udtryk med varme harmonier, men leger også med rap og groove-baserede riffs. Hendes bestemte og udforskende soul blandet med taktil spoken-word og hidsig jazz fylder lytterne med energi, hvor teksten udgør af kernen i det som driveren musikken fremad.
“Desidert største oplevelse under festivalen” - Ellisiv Sunde Myrva, Bergens Tidene
“Sikke en stemme, med masser af mørk glød, variation og noget på hjertet, og sikke da et dragende og sjælfuldt udtryk, der tydeligvis hentede energi fra alverdens musikalske spændingsfelter.” - Mads Kornum, All That DK
“Hun er umulig at kategorisere, men alt hun gør udstråler musikalitet” - Engelsholm Events

Sanyu (NO) delivers an intense, genre-bending live experience where RnB, jazz, spoken word and electronic textures merge into a soulful and high-energy concert.
Described by Gaffa as “an artist who gives the finger to all music journalists who wish to lock artists up inindustry-formed genre-categories” and already having performed at several festivals in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Egypt, Sanyu is released her debut album Circumspect in April 2026. Its release coincide with a tour across Northern Europe, from Oslo to Copenhagen and Berlin.
In March 2025the Irish-Ugandan artist was awarded the “spotlight” prize by the Norwegian Lyricist Fund for her lyrical works of the previous year and was later granted NOPA’s lyric award for her poem ‘You Don’t Hear It (Do You?)’. Her debut EP‘Now You Hear It’was described as “a testament to true artistry and dedication to the craft” by Beehype and chosen as their Norwegian Pick for “Best Albums of 2024”
On stage she is joined by some of the most distinct sounding musicians from Norway’s jazz and electronicmusic scene. Drummer, Rino Sivathas, multi-instrumentalist Kristina Fransson and bass player, Joachim Mørch Meyer all display both composure and explosiveness through their interplay with each other.
With a background in R&B and improvisation, her music bears the stamp of a soulful expression with warm harmonies but also plays around with rap and groove-based riffs. Her determined yet exploratory soul interspersed with tactile spoken word and hammering jazz charges her listeners with energy, where her lyrics are at the core of what drives her performances.
“By far the greatest experience during the festival” -Ellisiv Sunde Myrva, Bergens Tidene
"What a voice, with lots of dark glow, variation and something on her mind, and what a captivating and soulful expression, which clearly draws upon all sorts of musical fields of reference." - Mads Kornum, All That DK
“She is impossible to categorise, but everything she does exudes musicality” -Engelsholm Events
