Bio

Born in Lisbon at the heart of a traditional Portuguese family, Suzana showed a passion for music from a very early age. Influences from her grandmother - herself a Fado singer – and her traditional upbringing combined to give birth to Suzana’s passion for Fado music.

Inspired by great Fado Divas such as Amalia Rodrigues and Teresa Noronha, Suzana gained experience as a Fado singer, performing in Fado Houses and Festivals. Her constant progress and determination finally culminated in her selection for the most notorious Fado Festival in Portugal: The “Grande Noite Do Fado De Lisboa” 1998. She proudly took 1st place after a unanimous vote from the Jury.

Following her recognition as an exceptional Fado singer, Suzana went on to work in several musical television programmes, where she gained further experience and notoriety as a vocalist.

In 2003, a fruitful collaboration between Suzana and her husband Marco Quelhas was released under the name “Duas Luas”. This new and original project presented an interesting crossover between traditional Portuguese music and modern pop. A successful tour followed the release of the album.

In the meantime, Suzana was also busy carefully preparing her first solo Fado release. The album “Anel de Fogo” was released in early 2005 and is now licensed in several European, African and Asian countries. An American release is also imminent.

Suzana's extensive television experience has also been instrumental in the awakening of a new passion for Suzana: Acting. She has appeared as an actress in musicals on Portuguese television.

This keen interest is reflected in her musical performances. Whenever possible, Suzana likes to use sets and props onstage, adding an element of drama to her “Live production”. Her “theatrical” physical presence also adds to the effect.

The time has now come for Suzana’s exceptional talent to be presented to the world. She will be represented at MIDEM 2006 by "Sete Vidas Produções Musicais and will be embarking on her European Tour in the spring of 2007.
