Sue Jorge inner fire comes from his years growing up in a favela (a Brazilian slum) and his desire to rise above his surroundings. His first notoriety came not as a musician but as an actor in the acclaimed 2002 movie, "City of God" playing a slum gang leader. He was able to bridge that success with samba renditions of David Bowie's 70's Glam-rock hits for the movie, "The Life Aquatic".

Sue Jorge continues to move forward with music. On "Cru" (which translates to "raw") the mood is cool yet intimate. This achieved through the various instrumentation. Mostly subtle acoustic guitars, spacious, airy electric guitars. The rhythms are provided by percussion that never overpowers Seu voice which is the key to the cool. His causal croon gives off a jaded-seen-it-all tone. The rhythms move simple folk-styled confessions of a Lieber-Stoller tune ("Don't) as well as "I am Favela". Some of the uptempo tunes take a darker turn such as "Chatterton" which addresses various artists who apparently commited some form of suicide.

Except for the Lieber-Stoller song, Seu sings in Portugese. He will be perfuming in the United States in select cities in April as a guest of Cesaria Evora and also at the Bonaroo Festival in Tennessee in the summer of 2006.
