Selah started playing classic guitar when she was 15. When she was 17, she participated in an open mic night in 'Het Depot', a small venue in Leuven. Organiser of the event and successful Belgian singer Milow (born Jonathan Vandenbroeck) saw her perform and asked her to be his support act..
Her playlist consists of some covers (most notably The Zutons' Valerie), but mainly of her own songs. Late 2008 saw the release of the Black Part Love EP with six of them. This EP can be listened to integrally at her official website, www.selahsue.be. Thanks to multiple media and support appearances for the likes of Jamie Lidell, Novastar, Simply Red and Prince, Selah Sue is steadily gaining fame and respect.
On occasions she features as a vocalist for dubstep formation Addicted Kru Sound in local venues.
She's recently been named by the Rolling Stone magazine as one of the New Faces of 2012.

The lyrics of Selah Sue's song "Crazy Sufferin Style" are about a person who is in love with someone that they know is not the right fit for them. The singer is observing the situation and can see that the other person is trying to make it work with someone who will never be able to fulfill their needs. The repeated phrase "crazy sufferin' style" emphasizes the fact that the person is willing to endure pain and discomfort in order to be with the wrong person. The singer emphasizes that they themselves are what the other person is looking for, suggesting that they are better suited as a partner.
The lyrics also suggest that the wrong person is aware that they are not the right fit for the other person, as indicated by the line "But she's never gonna be your lover". Despite this, the other person remains stubborn and continues to pursue the wrong relationship. Ultimately, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of ignoring compatibility in relationships and the consequences of settling for less than what one truly deserves.
