Susan Lily has been described as a “room lifter” and “in touch with those she entertains”. She’s lived her life like there is no tomorrow weaving her magical touch through a career in medical imaging: and now music. A gal who follows her own path and values, creating music that she knows will uplift and bring joy to the world around her. Susan began on stage in short plays, musicals and finally as a stand up comic. From there she combined her knowledge of stage-craft with her up close and personal experience with people and began to apply it to the world of musical entertainment.
“Butterfly” was woven together with Paul Norton (“Stuck On You”) and a stable of Melbourne talent including Gerry Hale (Innocent Bystanders and, Uncle Bill), Wendy Stapleton (Wendy and the Rockets), Angus Burchall (John Farnham band), and Gary Young. It was a truly educational experience for me to engage with, and learn from, these awesome professionals.” It brought her airplay around the country and overseas.
Susan is not big on winning awards so much as winning hearts. Having said that she is privileged to have been a finalist in the Vic and National Country Music Awards in 2012 and to have been the recipient of an award at the 2015 Tasmanian Country Music Awards.
Born and bred in outback NSW then moving to various cities has given Susan Lily a broad view of people and life. Capturing the essence of the ups and downs of life is her forte. Susan released her 1st single “Musical Journey” on Feb 19 with her second album, “Free Spirited” launched in March 2018 at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. This album has been graciously supported by grant funding from Arts SA. Tracks from the album have been played both locally and across Australia, including being a part of Three D Radio’s top20+1 chart (peaking at #6). Tenacity is the word here and the latest single “Tough As Geranium” is an ode to Port Adelaide, the geraniums that grow there and, Susan’s childhood memories.
