Smyrna, DE-Â Sug Daniels is a singer, songwriter and producer who is using the tools around her to capture the emotions of an era. Daniels’ work is as colorful, vulnerable, and charismatic as her personality. She thoughtfully combines elements of folk, R&B, and low-fi alternatives to create personal and tender music interlaced with messages of truth and positive change.
Growing up in the rural town of Smyrna, Delaware, Sug had felt first-hand both the extreme joy and the major isolation that many LGBTQ+ people experience in Southern Baptist-style churches. After coming out, she left the church but continued her journey armed with the love of powerful music and celebration of community. After leading two previous musical projects, Hoochi Coochi and FlowCity, Sug has set out to create solo music that reflects her current views and personal stories.
Franklin Street is the collection of quick and poignant thoughts from an individual experiencing swift and massive life changes. Each song is an observation of the painful yet often necessary moments and uncomfortable conditions that bring about extreme growth. Things can become odd when juggling breakups, separations, politics, history, isolation and ambiguous friendships. A first stab at solo creation, producing, and engineering, Sug Daniels utilizes the immediate tools around her to flush out the feelings fast and true”.
