New York, United States (1959 – present)

Suzanne Vega (born Suzanne Nadine Vega: 11 July 1959, in Santa Monica, California) is an American noted for her eclectic -inspired music. She lived most of her life in New York City, attending the New York City High School of the Performing Arts (the school seen in the feature film musical Fame), where she studied modern dance.

However, Vega realized that her talent in dance was not sufficient to make her living doing it. While attending Columbia studying English, she penned many songs and performed in college and community “coffee houses” inside and outside the New York City area.

She was discovered in 1984, releasing her eponymous debut the following year. However, it was not until her sophomore effort, Solitude Standing, that Vega hit the big time.

Vega has a prolific catalogue, and in 2003 she released a retrospective collection. Beauty & Crime, her seventh album, was released in 2007. Inspired by the city where Suzanne grew up and still currently resides, Beauty & Crime revolves around Suzanne’s experiences in New York.

Vega has a daughter, Ruby Froom, with her ex-husband Mitchell Froom. In early 2006, Vega remarried to a man named Paul Mills.

    When does the fourth disc of Close-Up comes out?

    last week
  • crimsonxsoda

    V I'd say that the "Close-Up" versions are even better than they were in the albums.

    are the Close-Up albums worth it? I'm not sure if I'd like the songs as much if they were stripped down like the albums claim to be....
