Suzanne Vega

Vega, Suzanne

Suzanne Vega is an American singer and songwriter. When she was two years old, she moved with her mother and stepfather to New York, where she came to live in a 'deprived area'. She was 9 when she wrote her first poems. She wrote her first song when she was 14. She attended New York's High School for the Performing Arts, where she studied modern dance. When Suzanne transferred to Columbia University to study English literature, she began performing in small clubs in Greenwich Village. That resulted in a record deal in 1984. Vega's first album Suzanne Vega was released in 1985 and was received positively. The song Marlene On The Wall became a hit in the United States and The Queen And The Soldier a fan favorite.

Her second album Solitude Standing was released in 1987 and contained the hit Luka . In 1990 the DNA remix of Tom's Diner (originally an a cappella song) was released and it became a big hit worldwide. The song Left of Center (with Joe Jackson) also became a radio hit.

In 1990 she released her third album Days of Open Hand . This album followed a more experimental course than its predecessors. Vega was assisted on this album by a number of well-known musicians such as John Linnell, the brothers Anton and Erik Sanko, Percy Jones and Philip Glass.

In the period 1991-2001 Suzanne Vega released three more albums with a wide variety of music styles. She describes her music as "alterna-folk".

In 1998, Vega was featured in the documentary "Rock and Roll Heart" about Lou Reed. Around the turn of the millennium she toured Europe regularly again.

In 2006, after 22 years, she left her record company "A&M Records" to sign with the renowned "Blue Note Records". In 2007 her seventh album Beauty & Crime was released on that label, with Frank & Ava as the lead single. This song tells about the love affair between Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner. On a few other songs, KT Tunstall sings the backing vocals.

In 2008, Vega and other well-known artists from the US, UK, Canada and South Africa worked on the album "Songs for Tibet", a show of support for Tibet and Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso. "Songs for Tibet" was released at the same time as the 2008 Summer Olympics in the People's Republic of China, which opened on August 8. The album was released on August 5 through iTunes and from August 12 through music stores around the world. Since the invasion of Tibet in 1950-1951, China has occupied the country, according to critics, resulting in widespread political, religious and cultural oppression.

Suzanne Vega is een Amerikaanse zangeres en songwriter. Toen ze twee jaar oud was, verhuisde ze samen met haar moeder en stiefvader naar New York, waar ze in een 'achterstandsbuurt' kwam te wonen. Ze was 9 toen ze haar eerste gedichten maakte. Haar eerste liedje schreef ze toen ze 14 was. Ze ging naar de New Yorkse "High School for the Performing Arts", waar ze moderne dans studeerde. Toen Suzanne de overstap maakte naar "Columbia University" om daar Engelse literatuur te studeren, ging ze optreden in kleine clubs in Greenwich Village. Dat resulteerde in 1984 in een platencontract. Vega's eerste album Suzanne Vega kwam in 1985 uit en werd positief ontvangen. Het nummer Marlene On The Wall werd een hit in de Verenigde Staten en The Queen And The Soldier een favoriet onder fans.

Haar tweede album Solitude Standing verscheen in 1987 en bevatte de hit Luka. In 1990 verscheen de DNA-remix van Tom's Diner (oorspronkelijk een a-capella-nummer) en dat werd wereldwijd een grote hit. Ook het lied Left of Center (met Joe Jackson) werd een radiohit.

In 1990 bracht ze haar derde album Days of Open Hand uit. Dit album volgde een experimentelere koers dan de voorgangers. Vega werd op dit album door een aantal bekende musici bijgestaan zoals John Linnell, de broers Anton en Erik Sanko, Percy Jones en Philip Glass.

In de periode 1991-2001 bracht Suzanne Vega nog drie albums uit met een grote variatie aan muziekstijlen. Ze laat haar muziek als "alterna-folk" omschrijven.

In 1998 was Vega te zien in de documentaire "Rock and Roll Heart" over Lou Reed. Rond de millenniumwisseling toerde ze weer regelmatig in Europa.

In 2006 verliet ze na 22 jaar haar platenmaatschappij "A&M Records" om te tekenen bij het gerenommeerde "Blue Note Records". In 2007 verscheen op dat label haar zevende album Beauty & Crime, met Frank & Ava als eerste single. Dit nummer verhaalt over de liefdesrelatie tussen Frank Sinatra en Ava Gardner. Op enkele andere nummers zingt KT Tunstall de achtergrondvocalen.

In 2008 werkten Vega en andere bekende artiesten uit de VS, het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Canada en Zuid-Afrika aan het album "Songs for Tibet", een steunbetuiging aan Tibet en dalai lama Tenzin Gyatso. "Songs for Tibet" verscheen tegelijkertijd met de Olympische Zomerspelen 2008 in de Volksrepubliek China waarvan de opening op 8 augustus plaatsvond. Het album werd op 5 augustus uitgebracht via iTunes en vanaf 12 augustus via muziekwinkels overal ter wereld. Sinds de invasie van Tibet in 1950-1951 bezet China het land met -volgens critici- een wijdverbreide politieke, religieuze en culturele onderdrukking tot gevolg.
