Album Notes

Susannah Blinkoff is a multi-talented singer-songwriter whose catchy, groove-driven alternative/adult contemporary pop-rock songs have been featured on MTV’s hit show “My Super Sweet Sixteen”, in the feature film “My Super Ex-Girlfriend”, as well as heard on over 200 college radio stations across the country. Her warm, intimate, clear-as-a-bell voice turns sexy and sultry in a heartbeat -- inspiring comparisons to Diana Ross, Sheryl Crow and Eva Cassidy -- while her accomplished background as an actress gives her a chameleon-like performance style that's at home in a variety of musical genres. Her latest album LET’S PRETEND is a diverse collection of soulful, “hooky”, pop-rock songs that are original and radio-friendly at the same time.

Born and raised in New York City, Susannah began singing professionally in clubs and off-Broadway when she was twelve. As an actress, she has appeared in numerous TV movies, sitcoms and plays on both coasts. She made her Broadway debut in THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE GOES PUBLIC and is featured on the show’s cast album recording. She is also a published playwright and screenwriter who co-wrote the film BELLYFRUIT which premiered at the L.A. Independent Film Festival and ran on Showtime. For that film, she wrote and produced the opening title song with hit music producer Stephen Bray (Madonna, “The Color Purple”).

Her first album “Happy Today” was released under the band name CAMP SUSANNAH and was a collaboration with musicians David Sutton (Lucinda Williams, Liz Phair, Tracy Chapman), John Ballinger (Rufus Wainwright), Ray McNamara (E of the Eels) and Scott Breadman (Macy Gray). Susannah has performed her music in Galway, Ireland; New York City, and in Los Angeles at The Knitting Factory, Tangier, Genghis Cohen, The Mint, and Hotel Cafe.

As the daughter of Broadway composer-lyricist Carol Hall, Susannah grew up in recording studios and songwriting was literally a calling she could not ignore. While performing and recording are her true passions, she is also busy developing hybrid musical projects that bring all of her talents together. Her award-winning screenplay UNDERCOVER CREW -- currently being developed as both a film and a TV series -- features two original songs written by Susannah for the character of a teen pop star. Another project is an original movie-with-music (a la "Once") about singers that will feature her songs as well as those of some other prominent L.A. songwriters.
