Bio
Suzana discovered her singing voice in the garden like setting of the Azores Islands where her family roots grow deep. The Portuguese culture and music have been a major influence on the Canadian born Singer. At the age of seven Suzana lost 94% of her hearing in her right ear and knew it would be a difficult to overcome this obstacle. She perservered and decided nothing was going to stop her, that's right, she knew by the age of five she would become a singer. Upon winning a vocal competition in the Azores a resident radio announcer encouraged her to go into the recording studio.
After performing festivals in Portugal, Suzana and her co-writer Mike Dell entered the studio under the guidance of legendary Canadian producer Jack Richardson. (The Guess Who, Bob Seger and Alice Cooper)
Jack produced Suzana's third, self-titled album "Suzana Da Camara" completed in 2005.
Suzana was featured with artists including Norah Jones, Michael Buble, Ella Fitzgerald and Tony Bennett on the jazz compilation CD "W Network Presents ... An Evening With Friends" released by Universal Music Canada.
Most recently, Suzana was also included on the folk/jazz remix album "Rosemount Wine & Song". A remix album released by Koch Records. Other songs include remixes of Norah Jones, De-Phazz, Sarah Vaughn, Moby, St. Germain and more.
Suzana's musical style is a mix of world music including folk, jazz, pop and latin with songs in English, French and Portuguese all done with soul.
