Suna Alan is a Kurdish Alevi singer based in London, whose artistry is deeply rooted in traditional Kurdish dengbêj (bard) music and shaped by the rich cultural diversity of her upbringing in Izmir, Turkey. While Kurdish folk songs are her primary focus, her repertoire extends to encompass Armenian, Greek, Arabic, Sephardic, and Turkish music.
Recognized for her contributions to music and culture, Suna was featured in the UK-based creative journalism platform Brush & Bow’s Women Role Models Project in 2018. She has graced prestigious stages such as the Southbank Centre, as part of the "Women in Music" concert series, and the Royal Albert Hall, performing with the Solidarity Ensemble to support earthquake survivors in Turkey and Syria.
In August 2024, she was the sole performer at the TEDxKings Parade St event in Cambridge, themed "TRANSFORMED." Her involvement with SOAS University’s Kurdish Band and Rebetiko Band has further broadened her international presence, allowing her to perform in numerous concerts and festivals across the UK and beyond.
Suna’s music is a celebration of heritage, resilience, and the shared humanity that transcends cultural boundaries.
