Susanna Kay is a Glam Pop singer, born in Amsterdam. Since she was a little girl she had fallen in love with the performing arts. Growing up in a little town called ‘Laren’, near Amsterdam, she attended different local ballet schools. In her early teenage years she was admitted to Dance Academy Lucia Marthas, where she traveled back and forth by bus to practice in weekends.

Degree she went to New York to study at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute to learn from the best. This is where she decided she wanted to focus on becoming a professional performer/singer.
The moment she got back in Amsterdam she started attending and organizing open mic nights, working together with musicians to write her own songs, recording tracks and working professionally as a glam pop singer at the Supperclub and Supperclub Cruise in Amsterdam.
