Singer.  Songwriter.  Teacher.  Poet.  Frontwoman.  Radio host.  Voice actress.

Suzanne Vick has been involved in music, in one way or another, for over 30 years. She got her start as many children do, watching popular TV shows of the day.  Her family vividly recalls Suzanne busting into song at random, sometimes inopportune moments and places – her song of choice often a commercial jingle, TV theme song or something from “Little Orphan Annie.”

After studying classical voice in high school, Suzanne continued expanding her understanding of different vocal styles throughout the years. She studied jazz and improvisational singing while at Berklee School of Music in Boston, MA, and pop, rock and Broadway after that. Funk followed years later, and proved to be a true musical and vocal education.

Suzanne teaches voice, songwriting, beginner piano and music theory at RVP Studios in West Haven. Ask any of her students about her teaching style, and their first response will probably have something to do with her passion for both music and teaching.

Suzanne has performed with a number of artists and bands throughout the state, including the original southern rock band, Creepin’ Charlie, the elegant, finger-style acoustic duo "Essence" (with her husband, Ed), and the fun, sometimes-raucous, always-harmony-centered "Big Yellow Taxi" with friend, Sean Morrissey.  Following that, Suzanne fronted “Electric Mayhem” – an 8-piece funk/rock band and winners of “Best Funk Band” in Fairfield Weekly’s 2007 & 2008 Grand Band Slams. Mayhem funked out everywhere from Acoustic Café in Bridgeport and The Main Pub in Manchester, to Daniel Street in Milford and Toad’s Place in New Haven.

She co-hosted a popular radio show called “The Singers’ Circle” on WPKN (89.5FM in Bridgeport) with her friend, Melissa Mulligan. The show ran for four years on the station, and Suzanne hopes to return to the airwaves as soon as her schedule allows… A voice actress, as well, you may have heard Suzanne’s voice on area commercials and business tutorials.

In 2007, Suzanne produced “Songs for the Cell” – a CD project to raise funds and awareness about the stem cell issue – on behalf of her cousin, actor Mitch Longley. Two years later, in 2009, Suzanne released her debut original solo album, “The Brightness of Orchids,” which has already received much acclaim from fans and regional musicians, as well as from area publications.
