Biography
Suki Waterhouse entered the public eye through the lens, scouted as a model at 16 and soon fronting campaigns for storied houses like Burberry. But the London-born artist consistently resisted being boxed into a single image. She pivoted to acting, choosing an eclectic mix of projects from dystopian thrillers like 'The Bad Batch' to the blockbuster 'Detective Pikachu,' often playing characters with an off-kilter edge. Her true artistic signature, however, emerged through music. Writing and performing her own brand of wistful, '60s-inflected pop, she cultivated a dedicated following. This musical identity fused perfectly with her starring role as keyboardist Karen Sirko in the Amazon series 'Daisy Jones & the Six,' where she performed live and showcased a new layer of her talent. Waterhouse's career is a study in self-directed evolution, building a brand that feels authentically bohemian and distinctly her own.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Suki was born in 1992, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
