Singing has always been an important part her life. She first sang and performed with the Church she attended in Tampa as a child. She traveled through the southeastern U.S as part of a gospel performing group. This group staged musical productions of bible stories for many Church audiences.
Susan also performed in small music productions of Jesus Christ Superstar and God Spell.
During High School she was in the mixed choir and the girls’ choir.
Susan attended the University of South Florida where she studied music and vocals. While attending USF, she was the lead female singer for a local pop music band.
Singing and music was put aside so that she could spend time raising her children during that important part of her life. With her children grown, she resumed singing and performing just for fun.
In December of 2007 she formed the group MidLife Crisis with the assistance of her friends. Susan has been performing everyday since. Singing in Venues in St Petersburg, Sun City, Tampa, The Villages and all areas between.
