Suzanne Brown

At 13, Suzanne started writing, singing, and recording. Her first recordings included a jingle for Del Monte Bananas, a ballad for “Big Brothers,” and a song for Rabbi Marvin Roseʼs record titled “ Life Can Be A Pleasure.” At 18, she was granted a full musical theatre scholarship where she continued her training in a variety of styles including Broadway, opera, pop, and everything in between.

Life as an Entertainer

Suzanne has been entertaining people of all ages, from toddlers to seniors, since the 1970’s. Music has been a main part of her life since she was a young girl.

She worked extensively with the Special Olympics, including writing and singing the theme song “The Courage to Shine” in 1996. 

She continues to create music and find new ways to share her love of music.

Writing is her Passion

Her book series on the great composers is a project manifested by the very sincere desire to introduce the great composers of music history to preschoolers in a fun engaging way, thereby opening up their world to all styles of music and all that it has to offer.

Singing, teaching, and entertaining is her love and passion, and sharing her knowledge, experience, and history of music is her goal.

Suzie Sunshine Early Years Program

Suzie’s program for Daycare centres came out of a sincere desire to create a quality music program for all children regardless of socio economic factors or ability. It was clear that there was a need for such a program and it has been growing steadily since its inception. She and her team continue to improve the program and share it with more children.
