Sumy

Sumy (from 'Surinam Baby', a nickname given to him by his friends) was born August 1957 in Paramaribo, Surinam. Initially playing on selfmade instruments as a hobby, Sumy started his music career in 1979 with buying real instruments (a Hammond organ, a Rhodes piano and a PPG synthesizer), writing, recording and releasing his first single on his own independent label [L=Sumy Records] and performing with his band 'The Freaky Thangs'. Thanks to radio DJ Theo Stokkink the single picked up airplay. To get a better distribution of music he got a license deal at Philips Records, Hilversum for his next singles. All his music is currently governed by his record company [L=Galaxy Europe Music]. Since 1986, he goes by the name (Sumy) Krisnallah
