Suz, a human girl, was manufactured sometime in the early Eighties. Some experts claim 1981 as an exact year. Early on it was decided by persons’ unknown that she would be continually programmed in the ways of music. Some of her first exposures to rhythmic sound were her older brother’s dancehall and gritty pop-noir records. She would later be inspired by the same person’s turntables and mixing at the age of 8. Playing with records was not enough however. She moved onto instruments, such as the piano, and would recreate melodies she heard buzzing on the radio. After hearing electronic music in 1994 on a community radio program, she found the type of music that she was the most excited about playing herself. And perform she did! After a few years of immersing herself in the music and learning its language, she was presenting the sounds to new ears herself.

Speaking of performing, her pseudonym came completely by accident. She was filling out a registration form for a contest to win two Shetland ponies when her hand cramped up and she was unable to put down more than three letters. She did not win the four-legged beasts, but she did end up with a name that has served her well. Some people to this day confuse her name with a shortening of her birth name. That notion is completely absurd.

With her name officially selected and refined turntable skills, in 2004 she co-founded O2 in the Basement a regular event that happens on moonlit Friday and Saturday nights.This event also services as the perfect excuse for her to get together with her fellow hooligans to break things and heckle attendees. In addition to the regular appearances, she manages to have irregular appearances across North America. To further satisfy her need to provide wonderful sounds to the masses, she also co-hosts a regular radio show on 101.5 UMFM. The show entitled Alter Ego Radio has been broadcasting since 2001, and has won awards for strong characters such as Charisma.

By 2005 this feminine misfit was constructing her own original compositions, with the first of such orchestrations being a remix for defchild. You can find Suz's remixes and original material on labels like: FVF, Archipel, Pinksilver, and Unfoundsound, to name a few.

Oh, and if you happen to bump into her on some foggy evening, just pray that you are armed with a Gin and Soda. Then perhaps she will leave you alone and play your favorite song at one of her events.
