Details:
Susan Cantey (Macintyre) was born in Aberdeen Scotland in 1950, the daughter of two mathematicians: Archibald and Sheila Macintyre. The family immigrated to the United States in 1959 when both parents were offered positions at the University of Cincinnati. In 1974, Susan had a dramatic encounter with Jesus Christ and became a âborn againâ Christian. She began writing Christian songs and produced an album of her work in 1975. That fall, Susan pursued an opportunity to go to college and, in 1978, she completed two degrees: a B.A. in mathematics and a B.S. in secondary education. She graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with honors in mathematics. She later completed a masterâs degree in mathematics for teachers in 1983. Song writing took a back seat to family and work.

Susanâs song writing career was suddenly revived when she met her second husband, David Cantey, in the summer of 2000. He challenged her to start writing again. David writes short stories (among many other things!) and is Susanâs primary song editor and collaborator.

Susan has been teaching mathematics at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati Ohio since 1978. She also taught freshman calculus for the University of Cincinnati for twenty three years but retired in order to spend more time developing her song writing craft. In the summer she teaches math content to special education teachers. They are the true heroes of education. They have unbelievable stories to tell!

Susan is a member of BMI. She performs her songs at local churches, retirement homes and coffee shops, fills in on piano occasionally, and gives away hundreds of CDâs as part of her ministry of sharing Godâs love through music. You can find some of her original Christian Songs at www.Soundclick.com. Otherwise, you will need to attend one of her events (where her CD's are given away). Susan's song: "Small Things" won two blue diamond awards in 2005.

Susan is the proud mother of Scott Gaines, an electrical engineer specializing in communications. Scott and his wife Jean, their three children Shelby, Natalie, Matthew, and a dog named Rocky live about a mile up the street. The grandchildren, along with Davidâs daughter Lizzie, have sleep-overs almost every Friday night when a great time is had by all!

In February 2006 Susan released her first secular CD in response to her students asking if they could download a song she wrote for them: "The Sea of Calculus". She decided to make an entire CD available on CD Baby at a low price.
