SUCH is a Boston born, New York raised, California educated, Chicago groomed, ex-registered nurse, now Soul singer living in Colorado.

Just like her upbringing, her road to music has been a scenic journey.

She spent the next few years leading choirs, praise teams and congregations in worship in Boston, Chicago, and Denver. That led her to work with international recording artist K'naan on the choral orchestration and arrangement of his hit single Wavin' Flag. She most recently finished in the top 98 out of 112,000 contestants on American Idol's Season 11.

As a performer, SuCh has enough energy to power a small city; her passion for music emanating tangibly in venues largeand small. As a songwriter, she writes simple songs about complex things - loss, family, love, life, friendship and hardship. She connects emotionally as both with her audiences through melodies that soar, woven in her clear, soulful voice, spiriting them away to distant lands, forgotten memories, and dreams of a better world.

SuCh released her first full-length album, Stretch Marks, on May 5, 2012. She sets out to give new meaning to the term by encouraging her listeners to view life's heartaches, tests and trials as growth, to harness the strength gained from these battles and to wear the resulting scars with pride. "Life is beautiful, not pretty. What makes it worth living are those things that push, stretch us beyond our limits."
