Singer and songwriter living by turns in London, USA and Slovakia, currently residing in Hannover, Germany. She represents the temperament and unpredictability of Kate Bush, orchestral and theatrical monumentality of Meat Loaf and the playful bitterness of language used by Marilyn Manson.
|Snovonne’s Music|
A brave mix of temper and heavy riffs with fragile and heart-breaking melodies. Pure elegance in all the dark shades full of expression and emotion. Every word she writes and each note she sings is lived through to the bone. This authenticity makes the Sno-fans personally relate to her – they even translate the lyrics into different languages and present them on their profiles as something that defines their personality.
Rock and metal is where Sno feels at home but she usually mixes in elements from different genres. As she says: "it’s depending on what the song needs".
|It's Sno, Baby - Not Sugar|
Was recorded by Sno at her home studio in London. She spent the last days of 2009 in Hannover, Germany with Jan Nemec (Magic Minds Music, worked with Celtic Frost, Grave Digger, Kreyson) producing the album, mixing and mastering.
"My Sweet Fiend", the twisted rock epic on the album, was post-produced by Ryan Chapin and Chris Domingo (Global Mastering, FL, USA) who’ve achieved a Grammy award for one of Seal’s albums.

Not Me
Snovonne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm done with you and all you live with
I have no feelings for what you are
Hard to believe you've let it come this far
This could be something to end it all with
Something to decorate it all with
You're a little off target with what you got
I'm the one moving
Mind is demolished
The heart remains polished
My tired gaze searches no further astonished
To see you're what I always thought you'd be
You don't know how it feels to
Cry like a child reading stories about hell
You're all the same
That's one thing you do well
I see you're what I always thought you'd be
And you mean nothing to me
Your face deep in shit of those you follow
Your mind locked with keys you idiots swallowed
I'll say it one last time
I don't belong to what you call your world
Its borders where meant to suit you not me
I'm not a part of what you call your world
And it's gon fall down on you not me
This could be something to end it all with
Something I'd like to leave you off with
Listen, don't you ever touch me again
You're nowhere close and you're no friend
On you
Not me
The song "Not Me" by Snovonne is a powerful expression of the singer's rejection of societal norms and expectations. The opening lines immediately set the tone for the song, with the singer declaring their desire to end their association with someone, presumably one who represents conformity and all that they stand against. There is a strong sense of detachment and disdain in the repeated line "This could be something to end it all with", indicating that the singer has reached a breaking point and is ready to sever all ties.
The second verse further drives home the singer's feelings of alienation and disillusionment with the world around her. The image of a demolished mind and a polished heart suggests that while the singer may be grappling with mental health issues or other challenges, her core values and beliefs remain intact. The line "You don't know how it feels to cry like a child reading stories about hell" speaks to a sense of empathy and sensitivity that is perhaps lacking in the world she sees around her. The final repetition of "On you, not me" is a powerful assertion that the consequences of conformity and societal pressure will not be borne by the singer, but by those who choose to play by the rules.
Overall, "Not Me" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt at odds with the status quo and the pressure to conform. Snovonne's lyrics are raw and honest, and her vocal delivery is intense and emotional, making this song a standout in her discography.
