From Strings to Storms: Susan Aquila Releases New Single "No Where"


When Susan Aquila lifts her bow, it's a fierce, thrilling call that demands attention. Over the course of her impressive career, she's performed alongside giants including Paul McCartney, Metallica, and Led Zeppelin, but Susan is cl aiming her own spotlight now. Classically schooled but with a heart that beats pure rock-n'-roll, an electric violin strapped over her shoulder, and a goal to shred every rulebook in reach, Susan is redefining what it means to be a rock musician—and having the time of her life doing it.

Her newest single, "No Where," is the sort of restless energy ro ck fans can't get enough of. Penned from the viewpoint of a person stuck in a suffocating relationship, the song overflows with the desperation and adrenaline of careening toward freedom at a wild speed. Beneath the snarling vocals and power chords, you get a glimpse of Susan's classical training—but don't let that fool you, this is straight-up hard rock from beginning to end. Her violin doesn't so much follow the song as lead it, taking off and flying and plunging with spine-tingling solos that are as dizzying as they are unavoidable. In a genre of music where the violin is usually overlooked, Susan shows us that it can be just as powerful an instrument as any electric guitar.


The music video takes this rebellion to the streets of LA, as Susan commandeers the city with her scorching electric violin. The video, directed by photographer Emily Hefele, captures the song's untamed energy with whiplash images and kinetic editing. Every frame pulses with movement and attitude—Susan in leather bustiers, thigh-high boots, and a wind-swept train—and her theatrical, yet sincere, personality is front and center. No pretenses here; the incandescent self-confidence she projects is as genuine as her radiant musicianship. Combined, the video and the track have a visceral impact that can't be erased.

With new music and videos in the pipeline, it is more than evident that Susan Aquila shatters conventional limits—she demolishes them. With each powerful note and each bold, unapologetic lyric, she encourages her audience to shed their inhibitions and participate in the wild ride. Whether you're a rock aficionado or a newbie lured by the enticing siren of her electric violin, Susan's energized energy is unstoppable. The future is loud and wild and thrilling—and Susan Aquila is leading the pack.
