Susan Holland was born in 1957 in London . Her father was a mixed American Indian and Affro-Carribean Baptist preacher, her mother from Ireland .
Susan began her prolific artistic career at an early age and attended at the Arts Educational School in London where she studied ballet and acting. This led her to performing a lead role in the English National Ballet as Clara in the ‘Nutcracker’ on several occasions. During this time she also made some small film and television appearances and did some modelling work too.
At the age of thirteen she went to stay with her father in Michigan USA where she began to sing Gospel songs at religious ceremonies.
Very unfortunately at the age of 17 her father committed suicide and Susan returned to England to start a new life and develop her musical career. She studied at The London Academy of Music and collaborated with Professor Richard Stoker and created some Jazz Albums. They performed a tribute to Hoagy Carmichael at the Purcell Rooms as well as other venues. Susan continued to perform cover singles nationally and worked with a number of bands but at the same time continued to write her own material from experiences from her rugged and tortured life.
In 1994 Susan formed a group which got together to work on and perform her own material in the London venues. Unfortunately Susan suffered a double Cerebral Haemorrhage which she fortunately survived and continued performing after her recovery. It was during this time that she developed a taste for alcohol which unfortunately opened the door for ‘Crack’ to enter her life. This was a terrible time in her life which she recognised and admitted herself into rehab. She successfully completed her rehabilitation programme and was able to leave behind her bad habits.
On 5 th of August 2001 her body was found in the back garden of the hotel that she was staying in. Under very suspicious circumstances she had fallen from the fifth floor.
