Sanny Veloo – Anthems for the bold, broken, and unbreakable.
Born in Singapore and reborn on the stages of Melbourne, Sanny Veloo is a rock’n’roll phoenix—rising from bans, breakups, and broken bones with a guitar in hand and fire in his veins. From punk rebellion to anthems of hope and heartbreak, his music is a battle cry for the bold. Every chord he plays is a scar turned into sound—raw, unfiltered, and defiantly alive.
Veloo first ignited the scene as frontman of Boredphucks, a band so unruly it got banned in Singapore. After relocating to Melbourne, he co-founded The SUNS—a hard-touring underground rock outfit that lived out of a van and shared stages with Presidents of the USA, British India, and Japan’s Mach Pelican. Then came the crash: an onstage stunt left his elbow shattered. Doctors told him he’d never play again. He proved them wrong.
Just as he clawed his way back, tragedy struck—his best friend and drummer Wayne Thunder passed away. Instead of giving up, Veloo turned grief into grit and formed EMPRA, a DIY rock powerhouse that tore through Southeast Asia, Australia, and the USA—sharing bills with Fall Out Boy, touring the States with G-Flip, and collaborating with Gotye. EMPRA wasn’t just a band. It was a mission.
Then, he disappeared. When his father fell gravely ill, Veloo stepped away from the spotlight to be by his side. After his father’s passing, music became his lifeline. His comeback began with “A Brighter Tomorrow”—an anthem of unity and resilience produced by ARIA Award-winner Michael Badger (Amyl & the Sniffers, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard). The single packed out Melbourne’s Espy Gershwin Room, sold out his first international show in Singapore, and earned a semi-finalist nod in the International Songwriting Competition.
Now, Veloo returns with “Warning Signs”—a breakup anthem for the swipe era that crackles with attitude. Gritty, hooky, and unfiltered, it’s what happens when Weezer, The Wombats, and Måneskin throw a party—until Eddie Van Halen’s ghost drops in with a flame-throwing solo. Produced once again by Badger, the track flips heartbreak into freedom, with lyrics that cut deep and riffs that hit harder.
Armed with a new album and a stage presence that’s equal parts storytelling, soul, and sonic firepower, Sanny Veloo is shaping the sound of modern rock on his own terms.
