Suzanne Vega (born Suzanne Nadine Vega: 11 July 1959, in Santa Monica, California) is an American singer-songwriter noted for her eclectic folk-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.

I love Suzanne. I think she's an incredibly talented musician and lyricist with an unique style. No one else sounds like her and even her own albums are different one from each other. Also, especially her Mitchell Froom produced / Tchad Blake mixed albums are some of the best sounding and most sonically interesting records I've ever heard.

Been revisiting her a lot lately. Apart from those two flash-in-the-pan singles from the second album, she gets overlooked because she's not as flashy as the Toris and Kates and Sarahs and Reginas of this world. (No disrespect to any of them: I love them all.) She's just been quietly there and fairly consistently brilliant from day one, and damn can she turn a phrase.

Just bought this brilliant album '12" Dance- The Definitive Collection' and I don't buy albums anymore! http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=-1;1;-1;-1;202&sku=249769 Thought you guys might appreciate it (Tom's Diner' is on CD3) and rattles through many of the greatest 12" Dance singles of our time. Ah memories!
