Hi! Well! What d'ya wanna know????
My website as well as the bands' website is http://www.susanhedges.com Check it out for a full Bio!
So here's some info about me.
I was born 3 months prem and had a lot of problems which caused my blindness. I wasn't expected to live. Well, I was born a fighter and I've been fighting ever since.
I've been performing regularly at festivals and events from the age of 10 accompanying myself on guitar or keyboard. I write my own songs either on my own, or with Paula Wright/Ronnie Stone. When I was 13 I released my first album. I have performed at numerous festivals and theatres and live on television programmes such as BBC Breakfast TV, and Granada Tonight. I have also appeared on national and local radio shows including Radio 4's Woman's Hour. I've performed for Prince Charles at a United Utilities corporate dinner, as I wrote 2 songs for their educational CD-ROM. One of the first things I did at college was to form a band with other students called The Other Kind. Check us out and listen to the free downloads on the website!!!
What am I doing now??
I am about to start doing an Masters degree in Music at Liverpool Hope Uni, having just achieved a BA Hons.
I am also continuing my solo career gigging at festivals and various venues. Come along and say hello if you can
Awards???
Yeah, I've picked up loads including
BT's Merseyside Woman of the Year 'Best Newcomer'
BBC Radio Merseyside's Best Female Vocalist
DadaFest Young Performer of the Year. Aimhigher Achievers Award and the Spirit of Hope Award from Uni
Albums??
My 3rd new solo album, Faces Without Names was released late 2006. Produced by Ronnie Stone (who also produced Mansun & The Pixies) in his studio, Area 51. It consists of 12 songs written by me 6 of which are with my mate Paula. The diversity of the tracks shows how my music has developed through my time in college and reflects the different musical influences I have come into contact with.
Latest??
A new area of performing for me is on adverts for TV and radio. My favourite one to date is vocals on an ad for Delta Airlines which you can listen to on my videos, with loads more in the pipeline
