Profile Generator BIOGRAPHY SUSPIRIA FRANKLYN was born in Portugal in the late seventies. Since early time she works in several areas: music, composing, producing, movies and visual arts. First of all, forget all the convencional rules that makes a "good singer/performer". Suspiria always made it with a very personal and particular attitude, which is a reflexion of her music and her live performances, becoming unique events. "Screams, Chaos and Sensuality", "Punk Diva" or "The Marlene Dietrich of Punk Rock" were newspapers headlines to describe Suspiria´s live shows.

After two major tours in Europe and three major tours in The United States, the press claimed them as "The Sensation Band" and they were considered one of the best live acts of the decade, playing all over the world. Their performances at several TV Shows such as "Fearless Music" (New York), "Chic a GO-GO" (Chicago) and "Texas Live TV" (Austin), were important to give them wordwide exposure. Their last record, "My Body-The Pistol", was released in 2004 by Elevator Music Records , and it was produced by the mythical name of Tim Kerr (Big Boys, Monkey Wrench, Bellrays) and was decribed as "...Some of the best music in living history...", hitting the CMJ American Charts in the last years.

Let her affixiating form of composition take over every loin in your body. Yeah she does more than fixate on your ears. She pulsates your blood, like red wine, into your veins, She will rock your body out of its pop-infused sedation and into a more erotic livelihood. "Shea Carver (Encore) 2004 USA" People who already lived the experience of being face-to-face with Suspiria Franklyn while she is on stage knows what I´m talking about. She´s inocent, perverse, she whispers and she screams, you can´t resist. "Martin Lopez (Rock Press) 2002 Mexico" Suspiria is like a queen into the riot scene, making damage to the American moral standart, catching the attention of the national mainstream press. "Rosvaldo Lima (Rock Press) 2004 Brazil" This lady has soul, attitude and stands for a performance one has to see to actually believe. Her performance is immortal. "D.B. (Up Yours Magazine) 2003 Belgium" Of course you already saw her pictures, videos or TV Shows, but seeing her in person is something you will never forget.
