Suzy and Bronson met when Suzy toured Mexico with The Ozone Ramblers in 1982 for RCA Records. When she decided to relocate to Nashville in 1984 Suzy contacted Bronson who was working for John Denny and the Denny Music Group as John's assistant and studio manager for Denny's Den, John Denny's studio on Music Row. Bronson and engineer/producer Greg Kane, took Suzy into the studio and recorded her first Nashville sessions on Nov. 29, 1984 and then on Dec. 15, 1984 Johnny Drake and Bronson recorded Suzy at Pete's Place, Johnnys father, Pete Drake's studio.

In 1985 after Suzy actually relocated to Nashville, Bronson helped Suzy assemble her promo package and arranged an audition for Suzy for Dollywood, which Dolly had just purchased and rennovated. Bronson had performed their for the 2 years previous in the stage band when it was still called Silver Dollar City, so he arranged the audition and accompanied Suzy on stage for the audition which was held in Nashville at The Boardwalk Cafe. Suzy got the gigwhich was very high profile and was spotted by Capitol Record executives while performing at Dollywood and was signed.

She has perfect pitch, is a joy to work with, and is a real pro.
