Bio from website
With a "distinctive alto voice" that makes you "feel in spite of yourself," Susan Souza, not only has an unforgettable name, but an unforgettable delivery of passion that pulls at your heart strings.
Although she describes herself as, "a rocker at heart," Susan's music crosses musical boundaries and reflects her eclectic rock, pop, and progressive influences.
Her deep, expressive voice, strong stage presence, and melodic style demands attention while her lyrics reflect soul-searching questions that resonate with her listeners' lives today.
Originally from Massachusetts, Susan began performing as a teenager in Key West, Florida. Since then, she has entertained audiences up and down the East Coast from New England to Florida, in the Midwest and Northwest. Through the years, her career has taken many forms: as a solo artist, in acoustic duos, and as the lead singer of a band.
After taking a break from performing and recording in the late 90s, Susan realized that the inner peace that creating and performing music offered was worth giving up conventional securities.
Susan resumed her music career in mid 2004 with her six-song EP release , “Can Be Found.” At the onset of 2005, Susan began performing solo again, appearing at festivals, original-music venues, and songwriter showcases.
In the Fall of 2005, Susan released her CD, “Inside and Outside,” for which she was a 2006 OutMusic Award nominee for Outstanding Debut Recording.
Susan has also been recognized for her songwriting as a runner-up in the March 2006 "Song of the Year" contest. She has also received votes from the public to keep her CD, "Inside and Outside," on internet RainbowRadio's GLBT top 40 for six consecutive months. She has placed in the top 10, June, July, August, September, and October November, and December of 2006.
In addition to performing and recording, Susan is the founder, president and CEO of Women's KISS (Kickass Independent Songwriter Showcase), which is presented annually in Provincetown, Massachusetts during Women’s Week in addition to multiple showcases around the country. The events feature a variety of female independent singer/songwriters.
Susan is seeking a publishing contract and is working regularly to support herself solely through a career in music.
