i was born in Broken Hill, NSW, a happy outcome to an urgent royal flying doctor from outback Australia. i was a church ministers kid, and lived in lots of australian towns i ended up in sydney to study nursing and then up to adelaide at the end of my training just to have a fresh start and live somewhere different. i began my journey into serious music starting off performing in a church band - where the audience was always appreciative!
i wrote (or memorised) my first song at the age of 7. "my shirt is the best in town" was its name and i can still sing it. the idea of making up songs and melodies on the piano came early. i used to frustrate my mother when at my practice time on the piano i never wanted to play the set music - i'd rather make things up. mum never quite knew the difference which is why i got away with it! i still prefer playing the new rather than practicing the old.
i knew i wanted to focus on it full time when i really began to experience performing in my 20's. i had never contemplated a full time career of it and then i started to see it was possible, took the leap to do it and now have totally fallen in love with it. what an extraordinary part of your head to live in.

my high school teacher was a total discouragement. when we had to bring something we had 'made up' to class, i played a fairly involved piano piece to which she said - 'thankyou, now sit down, susan' (monotone). i complained to my parents.
i had an older friend who had the words and chords to old folk songs and we would play together. i started writing songs again at this time (aged 13) on piano and guitar. i would then ask my minister dad if i could play them to the church congregation on sunday. my piano teacher then gave me an old hawaain guitar which promptly ended up in the toy box and my parents then blew me away by buying me my first full size serious guitar. they didn't have much money in those days so it was a huge thing.
WHY GUITAR !!
my best friend played the guitar and i wanted to too. it was cooler and more portable than the piano.
TOURING!!
i guess i never had any idea of what touring would be like. all i know is that i have never worked harder in all my
