Suzy K / As I Am

Suzy K, a native New Yorker, moved with her family to Southern California at age eleven. She grew up there and found herself who wanted to be a pop singer. Thus, Suzy gave a two-song demo tape to her brother, a Beverly Hills dentist, who then played it for a high-powered entertainment attorney held captive during a dental exam. In short order, the duly impressed attorney introduced Suzy to record executive Tom Callahan, and Suzy began work on her 1996 debut album "Coast of Paradise" for the Coyote Records label.
Suzy released her 2nd album " As I Am" in the summer of 2000 with many remarkable beautiful warmhearted tracks such as "Now I Know" written and originally performed as a commercial song for Nissan Cedric only in Japan by Stephen Bishop. And Suzy covers "Broken Wings", a smash hit of Mr. Mister, which is arranged by Richard Page. The other songs should also be noted because of marvelous name of songwriters ; "Half As Wild" written by Mark Goldenberg with Kit Hain ( known for "Marshall Hain", the duo unit with Julian Marshall, later known for "Eye To Eye" ), "Love Has Found This Heart" written by Billy Steinberg (ex I-Ten) and Jeff Pescetto.
