Susie Hopman
Bio


Start with the honest glow of genuine warmth; mix in a
generous portion of effervescent energy, dust with showbiz
sparkle and heat up the music. Susie Hopman is cooking.

Susie is the true article: an honest-to-goodness former crown-
wearing rodeo queen from Prescott, Arizona. She grew up on
pure country music and performed her first large-scale shows
for fair and rodeo audiences. After the requisite National
Anthem, she sent her voice soaring through the heat and the dust,
up to the crowds in the grandstand. Her early influences
included Dolly Parton, Alabama, and another noted singer who
also began her career at the rodeo, Reba McEntire.

Susie was a vocal major at Arizona State until, in search of her
own wide-open spaces, she moved to California. She finished
her education at the University of California at Irvine but her
unabashed desire was to sing the most populist of American
musical forms.

Susie has since developed a repertoire that is both authentic
and believable. "To sing country music is really to be a
storyteller. When you listen to songs, the characters come
to life. You relate to the situation because you've most likely
been through it yourself," she asserts. This alchemy is
immediate: her radio-friendly voice effortlessly interprets
words and melodies tailor-made for her soulful delivery.

"Country music is on a different level these days, she insists.
You can still turn on the radio and empathize with the broken
hearted one minute, and the next minute be listening to the
happiest song in the world."

She grew up riding horses in the hills with the coyotes,
mountain lions and eagles. Now, with her cowgirl's heart and
ingenues's grace, Susie Hopman is clearly committed to her
future in country music. "I'll sing songs that I can relate to," she
concludes, "and if it works for me I know it will touch others,
too.
