Suzanna Choffel is a native Austinite and a part of the vibrant local music scene, cutting her teeth as a teen at Saxon Pub & Broken Spoke, then down in San Marcos during her college years. She studied music and recording, earning a BA in Music Technology at College of Santa Fe where she was part of weekly jam that included Ben Haggerty (now known as Macklemore). She began growing a steady local following at clubs like Momo’s, Antones & Cactus Cafe. Since then she has played SXSW, ACL Fest, has toured nationally & in Europe and even spent time on reality tv (NBC’s The Voice Season 3).
Growing up in Austin nurtured Suzanna’s love of local radio and the many DJ personalities that felt like friends constantly introducing her to new great music. It’s not surprising that she would find herself in the DJ booth years later at Austin’s grooviest new station Sun Radio. As she says “The next best thing to actually playing music is getting to listen to & play other musicians’ music for people. Best day job ever.”
