About Me

Susie is a sought after session vocalist in Glasgow. Exposure as a lead vocalist in the Glasgow Gospel Choir has lead to some excellent work including working with Lemar, L-marie, Tabby Callaghan (X-factor), The Fusion Experience, and becoming a disco bitch in the seductively discotastic Million Dollar Disco Orchestra( BBE records 2008 - see MDO myspace - for promo audio sample). She nearly choked on her monster munches when she was asked to support The Godfather, James Brown with the Fusion Experience in October 06........She has recorded backing vocals for a variety of artists and is now is one half of 'Monumental Groove' with Jane McLaughlin. The band performs a fusion of gospel-inspired soul, funk and gospel house music. Susie and Jane are always accompanied by different session musicians to keep 'The Groove' fresh! If its funky/ soulful/ jazz/ gospel backing vocals you need - look no further.Susie has a PhD in Cancer Research (sometimes she's know as DR. FUNK or THE DACTA - ahem Ms L-marie!)but her 1st love is music....................Susie plays piano and guitar. Susie has rekindled her relationship with the piano after a recent ebay purchase of a boudoir grand piano................Susie has recently been placed on the books of the amazing Rage Music (www.ragemusic.co.uk) as a session vocalist and is looking forward to working with them in the near future______________________________________________________ _______ LIVE (RAW!)
