Performing Songwriter
Susie played in several bands, most notably an all-Female Top 40/ Reggae band in Jamaica called "PEP", and then "WOW". She also had a brief stint in a Tampa all-female Reggae band called "Lioness", and a multi-cultured Orlando band named "Melange". She also spent a while on the Orlando convention circuit, playing with various Island band ensembles.
She decided to go solo in March of 1999, and has been playing open mics and various acoustic gigs ever since. She has written over 500 songs, and has recorded over 300 of them in her home studio. She calls her genre "AcoustiCool/ ReggaeLypso", and many of her songs have been described as "Quirky". Her Song "Computer Love" that she wrote with Co-writers Chelita Martinez and Kent Trewick (her husband) has been getting lots of good feedback from her audiences, (and even some airplay). It is a Reggae, and has a DJ named Mr Mystic adding his unique touch.
"The Mambo Song" is a crowd pleaser that often gets audiences involved in a large conga line. The "Tissue Police" song, written with Lisa Firestone, and Kent, is another hilarious addition to her repertoire, based on a warning label on a tissue box. She and Lisa also wrote a song about the "Flying Spaghetti monster", which tells about Pastafarians, and their parody of religion.
In the earlier 2,000's she formed a group called "SusieCool and the Coolottes", and they helped her to develop and perform many of her originals. She is now playing with a female songwriting trio called the "Jane Gang Unleashed".
Susie's intention is to entertain and uplift her audiences, hopefully get them dancing, and have them leave in a happy mood.
She has a CD called "The Best of SusieCool", Details are on the webpage
