Suede is an American pop, cabaret and jazz singer. She was born in Nyack, New York and went to high school in Severna Park, Maryland. She began playing music in high school, getting bar gigs before she even graduated. She lived in Baltimore for the majority of the 80's and became a fixture at many local clubs. Suede's popularity in the adult contemporary circles steadily increased and she began playing sold-out shows in some of the US's most respected concert halls. She successfully sued the British band, Suede for the rights to the name, meaning that the band's subsequent albums were released in the US under the name "The London Suede". In addition to being a vocalist, Suede plays many instruments; trumpet, piano, and guitar. She currently lives in Cape Cod.
