Sanne Greet A. Putseys[1][2] (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsɑnə pʏtˈsɛis]; born 3 May 1989), known professionally as Selah Sue, is a Belgian musician and songwriter.

Her debut album, Selah Sue (2011), was a major success, selling over 720,000 copies in Europe,[3][4][5] 320,000 in France alone.

[9] Sanne Putseys was born in Leefdaal, province of Flemish Brabant, near the provincial capital Leuven.

At the same time she performed as the youngest and only female artist at the open-song contest Open Mic-avond at Het Depot in Leuven.

Organizer and singer Milow (born Jonathan Vandenbroeck) had noticed her talents and asked her to perform in his supporting programme.

Initially, Putseys managed to work out her musical career path while studying psychology at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.

[13] From September 2008 until August 2009, Selah Sue received some curricular guidance from the Belgian musical theater, Ancienne Belgique.

The programme, in which she was involved, has been set up to support promising artists who aren't associated with any record company or other kinds of managing assistance.

[18] Besides several hit singles, such as "This World" and "Crazy Vibes", the album also contains a duet with Cee Lo Green, called "Please".

Selah Sue co-wrote Belgium's Eurovision Song Contest 2016 entry, "What's the Pressure" performed by Laura Tesoro.

Before the release of the EP Selah Sue hosted a livestream concert series from her bedroom called "Lullaby Sessions" because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

[23] In May 2014 Selah Sue made public that she has been struggling with depression in the Flemish talkshow "Reyers Laat".
