Meet Susan McCullen

Songwriting was a surprise to me. I started hearing tunes and words in my head in the early '80's. I was going through some powerful inner work. I didn't believe the songs I heard within were worthwhile, but when a melody or phrase wouldn't go away, I paid attention. I was already covering other people's songs, so I threw in a few of my own. They put me and other people in a wonderful space.

Performing was something I knew I had to do. I shook like a leaf when I sat down after singing, but it got easier as time went on. I began to feel like moving my hands and body while I sang. I felt foolish. I had very little dance/movement training, but this was clearly part of my expression. What saved me throughout all of this was people's response to my performance. I got so much feedback about the energy experienced at one of my concerts. I just had to let it happen. Now it's one of the most joyful things I do.

Recording is a lot of fun. The most important thing in the studio is to relax and let it flow. Combine this with pitch, timing, breath control, and passion- whew! The cool thing about recording, is that once you're done, you're done. This music is now free to go places I never will. A new recording is said to be released- this is literally true.
