Shadia Kansha or should we call her ‘Sade Susanto’ is a singer/songwriter born in Yogyakarta 6 May 1998. Grew up in a family that champions education achievements, she never thought that singing would be a career that she will pursue.That is until she got her heart broken. Out of a whim to entertain herself, she strums a few chords and the next thing she knows a song called “The Man Who Has Hurt Me” was born. She didn’t stop writing ever since and found making music is quite therapeutic. Hence Sade Susanto was born.

Sade’s music is heavily inspired by her favourite R&B/Soul artists. It all started when her mom introduced her to Aretha Franklin in such a young age, not long after she instantly fell in love with soul music. To name a few more SVW, Erykah Badu, Jojo, Lauryn Hill, Mary J Blige to modern artists like Mahalia, Ella Mai, H.E.R inspired her in music. For Sade herself music is a way for her to grow, to feel, and most importantly, to reflect on herself.
