Rock legend Suzi Quatro has sold over 55 million records and influenced generations of female artists who have followed the path she created. This iconic American female bass playing vocalist has a wonderful new Christmas single, a track written in a COVID period. I caught up for a conversation with Suzi from her studio in Europe to talk about the creative process, alter ego's, removing negative voices, setting standards, and a little about Christmas.
- There’s Little Suzie from Detroit and then there is the alter ego of Suzie Quatro. Who wrote the lyrics to this new song?
- What’s the story Suzi is telling through this lyric and melody?
- Does Suzi have any lyrics sitting in journals or stored in the back of her mind that may have found their way to this track?
- On stage Suzi can feel an audience. Did she see, hear or get a feeling for the lyric with My Heart and Soul?
- Does Suzi enjoy her own company and silence? Is silence a part of her creative process?
- Does Suzi go through the second guessing of herself and questioning of her ability to deliver again when writing?
- What’s Christmas Eve like for Suzi Quatro?
- What would Suzi's mum Helen say is her greatest virtue, that which has led to her continued success?
- The performer part of Suzi she gets from her Dad. What is the greatest attribute she inherited from her Dad on stage?
- Does her poetry make her a better song writer?
- The song or poem that best sums up Suzi Quatro?
