Su is a Los Angeles native raised on waves, bikes and rock bands. She began playing piano by ear at age 4, started singing with a rock band at 11, and continued singing in folk-rock bands throughout high school and college. She performed solo and band stints in other states before returning to LA to focus on songwriting. Su and David May released Fat Barbie CD in 1995, distributed nationwide by Hear Music and featured on KLOS radio’s Local Licks program and its end-of-year “Best Of” show. The songs on The Wild Within are grounded in Su’s experience, emotionally reflective, playful, adventurous. “Each song on the CD has been wilderness-tested: these are the sounds and lyrics I wanted playing in my head in beautiful places -as well as when changing lanes- and having gone the distance, still wanted to hear again.” Official website: www.sulivingston.com
