About Susan James

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I was 8 years old, floating in a friend’s swimming pool on a sweltering day. Looked up at the redwood trees and wrote my first ever song about a giant that was ‘tall as the sky’. Climbed out of the pool and put guitar chords to it. Definitely a hit. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Joni Mitchell, Hejira Lô Borges, Milton Nascimento, Clube da Esquina The Beach Boys, Smiley Smile (Mono & Stereo) These are three albums I’ve listened to since childhood. They formed my vision of what it means to be a truly authentic artist. I continue to be inspired by the absolute creativity and beauty of them. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Poseidon's Daughter” Writing this song marked a particular time in my life, and also was the launchpad for the series of modern day fables that I wrote for this particular album. I still feel it holds up on repeated listens. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Completing my new album ‘Time Is Now’. It feels like a very personal milestone for me. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to write 120 more songs before I die. I think I can get there!
