Too Opinionated Interview: Susan Muranty

Today on Too Opinionated, singer/songwriter Susan Muranty visits!

Susan Muranty is a multi-talented singer-songwriter and artist whose passion for music has carried her a long way from the tiny suburban studio she calls “The Light Box” in her hometown of Sydney Australia. Honored with awards from major songwriting competitions around the world, including the Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA), UK Songwriting Contest and Great American Song Contest, she marvels at the journey that has brought her to this special place in her creative evolution.

“Ten years ago, I would have laughed if you’d told me I’d be performing my own songs - and winning awards for them. When I began writing lyrics, I didn't even know what a chord was!” says Susan. “I’d always sung around the house - and for my young son to get him to sleep - but that was the extent of my musical knowledge and understanding. I woke up one morning after a long period of personal stress - right in the middle of a relationship breakdown - and lyrics literally started falling out of my head. It really took me by surprise. Then the melodies started - I was even dreaming them! 

Susan began working remotely with “amazing” musicians such as Grammy Award Winning Producer and Bob Dylan guitarist, Bob Britt who produced her 2016 EP Blue is The Hottest Flame and, during a later trip to Nashville, she and Bob co-wrote her first iTunes Chart-topping ballad, Some Loving Left To Do, released in 2020. It was here that she and Bob recorded Stop Time With A Kiss, the first single from her forthcoming album to be released in mid-2022. Debuting at Number One on the Australian iTunes singer- songwriter chart in September 2021, it also gained Susan a coveted Top 10 spot in the All Music Genres Chart and a nomination in the Americana Category of the Hollywood Music in Media (HMMA) Awards and a Number Two berth on the competitive Australian AMRAP Metro Radio Chart.
