Singer, Songwriter, Spirit
“I want my music to contribute to the world in a spiritual, personal way… to help people look at their lives with hope and possibility, no matter what. I want my music to comfort and inspire people ...to encourage them to run hard at their dreams and goals. It’s too easy to be mediocre ... Fusing my life and music to create great lasting art ... that’s what it’s all about for me.”
Live On Stage
Critics have called her voice “extraordinary,” “strong and beautiful,” and “transcendent.” When you hear Susan Calloway sing, you will no doubt come up with strong adjectives of your own. Like these, they will fall short of adequately describing the real thing.
Listening to Susan’s music is like having a long talk with your best friend. She’s real and approachable and her music is all about this life. Not something shiny, clean and perfect, but the raw and honest truth we all experience. As an artist, Susan uses her music to connect with fans. Her passion, words and voice will follow you into your life. You’ll find yourself wanting more.
Coming Soon
And fans are about to get what they want -- Susan is going prime time. Working closely with Grammy award-winning producer/mixer/engineer, Gerard Smerek, she’s bringing her artistic vision to a bigger stage. “Gerard has been the greatest musical mentor of my career,” Susan said. “Finally I feel like my songs and my voice are ready to reveal to the world. We are excited to launch, "Chasin the Sun", my first-ever national release this fall. In these hard times, I hope my music gives everyone a little lift.”
How it Started
A classically trained pianist and vocalist from Detroit, Susan Calloway has been singing, playing, performing and writing songs her entire life. When she was barely out of high school, she started a band called Red C that scored a loud, loyal following in the Midwest and on the East Coast. Red C sold a ton of self-produced records and won over 12 Detroit Music Awards. After graduating from college, Susan left the band to follow her heart and pursue this solo project.
What’s Susan About?
When she’s not in the studio, you will most likely find Susan outside running as she considers this her “go to” sport that keeps her focused. If you’re lucky enough to visit her studio, she will insist you stay for dinner. And if you want to talk to her about her music, she will make you talk about your life first. “People are my inspiration – my friends and family, our lives and all we go thru”
Susan is also a huge fan of mentoring younger girls and encouraging them to reach for their dreams. “Women have so many choices now. Sometimes all we need is a little push from someone who cares…that can make a huge difference.”
