Susana "Infinitee"found music, as well as visual artistic expression at a very early age. Her mother said that she drew the moment she could hold a pencil, and then she began to duplicate tunes that were playing on the radio on the family piano by the age of four.

Piano lessons were arranged at the age of seven with a local teacher down the street, and 9 years went by of those lessons in mostly classical music. Susana majored in art in high school and minored in music.

Then came punk. Susana (at the time known as Su) recorded an EP of songs that she had written at the BCMK studio in Buffalo New York. (An EP is an extended play 45 rpm record with three songs instead of 2.)

Susana holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design in Manhattan, as she is also a visual artist. www.mcguirecommunication.com

A duo was formed called The Strangers in 1992 with Ricardo Pena. Acoustic Ballads, Blues, Folk, and Latin Gypsy music were sung around the Buffalo area with Susana singing and playing guitar. As writer Jeff Johns mentioned: "I remember when Susan McGuire released her first single on the local BCMK label. She was a gritty rocker calling herself Su McGuire. Well now Susan has teamed with Ricardo Pena to form the acoustic duo The Strangers. The Strangers originals are an interesting mix of Blues, Latin, and traditional folk music. You can see this unique duo Friday night at the Calumet Arts Cafe."

A duo of original "Acoustic, Alternative Gypsy Music" with Kevin Smith called Vibe Groove Cult was created. They played the Rock n' Art Festival in 1997 with Susana on vocals and piano and Smith on groovy, soulful guitar.

So, music has always been a part of Susana's life. Through it all, her family encouraged her, especially her Aunt Vivienne Salonicas Scozzafava, who had a great career as a professional singer.

Now, Susana lives in Carmel Valley, California, and has taken up serious study with the greatest chanteuses that were ever known to grace any stage.
