Suzanna Choffel is many things: a rising star, an undeniable musical force and a unique voice (a “honeyed husk,” as it’s been posited) who feels equally at home singing in a dimly-lit, smoky club as she does front and center in front of millions.

Easy to love, difficult to define: credit Choffel’s restless creative spirit. And also credit the Austin TX native’s musical upbringing.
