I am very excited about my upcoming interview with Susan Calloway. This locally based Detroit singer is fast making a name for herself in the Music Industry. She is a singer/song writer who is making her dreams of success come true. I feel she is a true inspiration to other artists. She is a fine example that proves that if you have the talent and you put your heart and soul into what you love- your star will eventually shine. And right now Susan's shinning star is rising fast!

Bio
Combine the edginess of Pink with the socially conscious lyrics of U2, wrap that in a voice that gracefully explodes like Sarah McLaughlin, yet soothes the soul like Sarah Barailles, and that would be the START of describing Susan Calloway…
Susan’s new EP ‘Chasin The Sun,’ has already won 12 Detroit Music Awards, climbed to #37 on the R&R Charts, and is spinning on Top 40, Hot AC, and Pandora radio! Uncommon for a new artist, (but not so uncommon for someone with Susan’s ambition,) she had placed songs on hit TV shows, before even releasing the current EP! Her music appears on “Dawson’s Creek,” “Summerland” and “One Tree Hill.” Chasin The Sun, (the debut EP) was produced by Gerard Smerek, who has mixed, engineered, and produced projects for everyone from soul divas Anita Baker, Aretha Franklin and Donna Summer to R. Kelly and Kid Rock. While Smerek has proven to be an incredible sound board for Calloway, the singer sets herself apart from many artists who call themselves “singer-songwriters” by literally writing everything herself: lyrics, melodies, chord changes, harmonies, bridges and arrangements.
Susan’s graceful yet commanding voice caught the attention of Grammy award winning conductor Arnie Roth, and Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uemtasu. Strongly believing her vocals would compliment ‘Distant Worlds,’ she was asked to sing on Distant Worlds: Music From Final Fantasy, her voice beautifully sung “Memoro De La Stona.” It was such a great match that Susan sang with the orchestra on the Distant Worlds Tour, and was asked to sing yet again on Distant Worlds II: Music From Final Fantasy, gracefully performing, “Melodies of Life” and the very popular, “Suteki Da Ne.”
Susan posses a great talent, but it is her passion that sets her apart. Believing that embracing the journey is just as exciting as reaching any destination, Susan has been chasing her dreams her whole life. Learning classical piano at age five and taking classical voice from the age of 12, she believed early on that “music is something that chose me more than I chose it.”
