Susan Blake is a composer, lyricist, singer and musician born in Hungary, now living in Austria. Already in her youth she was influenced by classical music, church and folk music (six years of piano studies and cantor studies in theology in Debrecen, Hungary), she also felt deeply rooted in jazz and pop music; She was the singer of various Hungarian Dixieland formations, with the famous "Benko Dixieland Band" as the highlight.
Appearances abroad and on Hungarian television (including the preliminary round of the Eurovision Song Contest) followed.
True to her motto "It's always about the music", she leads her musical journey to Vienna, where she impresses audiences and critics alike with her unmistakable voice and stage presence in Joe Zawinul's "Birdland", in the show "Viva las Vegas"!
In addition to her compositional activity, she also studied jazz singing at the Prayner Conservatory in Vienna.
At the Austrian Country Awards 2016 she won with the song "Rocking Chair" (best song - composer and lyricist) and 2017 with the song "How could I" (sung by Laura van den Elzen and Mark Hoffmann, DSDS finalists). in the “Song of the Year” category.
Since 2016 she has been the German GRD's dolphin ambassador for the rescue of dolphins in Taiji, Japan and garnered worldwide attention with the single edition "Your Tears are mine", which arose from a collaboration with the Austrian bass legend and the Viennese dialect singer-songwriter Edi Mayr.
Her current Dixie pop music project, a collaboration with the Miskolc Dixieland Band and Varga Tibor (formerly Lucky Boys Sax.), again reflects her fiery temperament!

This time Susan Blake found it is time to make a Pop/Rock album. Like on her other albums, the lyrics come out of her own life and love. She took some songs of the past years, and gave these to producer, arranger and guitarist Rens Newland, who renewed the tunes in his Orange House Studio. A couple of tracks of the past she choose just as they were. Among them the Neorus track "We are One"! A couple of tunes are real new: "I'm Hanging on your Blues" with almost a big band sound, "Tarararira" a cool groovy song, here in two languages: English and Hungarian.
