If you combine rough with tender, storms with calm seas, beauty with pain or hope and aching, you’ll get something rather magical and this is, what the songs of Berlin-based Singer-Songwriter SEASOUL are made of.
Born and raised in the south of Germany, Seasoul ran away from her fosterparents’ home to New Zealand in 2014, after finishing school and surviving various schoolyards with the right songs on her MP3-player and the dream to become a musician one day. At the other side of the world between workshifts, mountains and dreamers, she found her people, colours and sounds for the first time. She also found a soulmate, who named her SEASOUL like the constantly changing moods, feelings and motions in her mind.
If you’d try to categorize the songwriting of SEASOUL, maybe Singer/Songwriter, Folk or Dreampop could be the matching words. SEASOUL writes, sings, plays the piano and the e-guitar.
After her travels, SEASOUL moved to Berlin to study Musicproduction in 2016 at HdpK. The goal was to collaborate with like-minded souls and to dive into the Berlin Musicscene to write and sing – the only two things that wove the red thread in her constantly changing world. After various Single-Releases, some Chart-Moments with fellow Musicians Felix Raphael, Yannek Maunz (u.a. Katermukke) & Brascon and their collaborations, she released her first Solo-Album MUSIC FOR MY YOUNGER SELF in november 2023.
SEASOUL played 3 first self-booked solo Tours in Summer 22, 23 and 24, where she sang & played her songs in locations like the northsea-islands Amrum, Sylt and Föhr or on little Festivals.
After self-releasing her Debut-Album MUSIC FOR MY YOUNGER SELF on the 17th of November, a succesful Berlin-show @ Maschinenhaus, that was presented by DIFFUS Magazine, taz, Yorck Kinogruppe and Kulturnews followed. Accompanied by bassist Marlene Becher and keyboarder Johannes Walenta, she presented her new Album in a dreamy atmosphere infront of an audience of 150 people. SEASOUL was invited by Deutschlandfunk Kultur, radioeins and Radio-Alex in 2023 and 2024.
2024 Vanessa Sonnenfroh, the person behind SEASOUL started to play in the Potsdam-based Punk-band JOLLE and to play Keys for the alterative band KAFVKA from time to time. SEASOUL still is the priority but after many years of searching for her place in the music scene, it became clear that more than one type of music means home to her and so the adventure of life now has more than one sound.
Status 08/24: SEASOUL is currently working on her 2nd album and on 3 different collaborations.
