An Intimate Evening with Grammy Award Winner, Susan Carol

Susan Carol

Each generation has that one voice that will always be synonymous with its sound…Susan Carol possesses that voice. This Fort Worth, TX native was created to sing. She is one of four children who all inherited their musical gifts from their parents; writing, singing and playing instruments is in her blood.

Having been raised in church, you will hear the inspirational foundation in the honesty of her lyrics. At an early age, Susan’s gift of poetry emerged and became the therapy that soothed her soul amidst life’s adversities and its blessings. That gift gave birth to the purity of her pen...a pen that now soothes our souls through her authentic lyrics and tranquilizing tone.

Susan’s vocal range changed dramatically from her youth through high school. “When I was growing up, I was a very high soprano…it was really crisp and clear” she says. Susan aspired to have a deeper voice like Norah Jones. As she matured, her voice transitioned into a sultry alto tone with a subtle rasp and crushed-velvet like texture. Susan’s lyrics and style mirror some of the greatest voices of past generations. She encapsulates the sincerity of Billie Holiday with the tonal depth of Jazmine Sullivan and the tangible vocal prowess of Gladys Knight. Susan’s voice delivers an audible experience like none other.

Fresh out of college, Susan relocated to Houston and was drawn to its music scene. Her debut project, Alchemy, in 2016 was a reflection of the young woman she was becoming while navigating her atmosphere. Singles like About Nothing, Kick It and Every Night highlights her journey while learning to flourish personally and musically while maturing and maneuvering through her new world. After Alchemy’s successful release, she took a break from releasing music to focus on her individual growth. This time afforded Susan the space to dive deeply into self and tap into her true authenticity.

In 2019, she reemerged and over the next four years delivered an even more confident set of singles, EP’s and collaborations that amassed her growth personally, vocally and instrumentally. A genuine set of songs that allowed you to peer into what her soul loved and appreciated were the results of her three-year hiatus.

Susan’s sophomore release, Projections, slated for a summer 2024 release, will be her most mature and eclectic release to date. Inspired by an “in the movies” concept, she began creating from that theme and the project has taken on a life of its own. Projections is chalked with R&B, pop and “churchy” soul jams. The one place you will never find Susan Carol is in a box. It may be R&B today and gospel tomorrow. Susan Carol makes soul music that delivers a cohesive message of love and authenticity. She is an experience you don’t want to miss.
