Suzanna Choffel

McGonigel’s Mucky Duck presents Suzanna Choffel.

Suzanna Choffel is from Austin – born and raised. But shake the stereotype of Texas singer/songwriter like a snow globe; with influences that range from Erykah Badu and Feist to Bebel Gilberto and Marie Daulne, Suzanna is as unique as the maelstrom of snow inside the glass ball.

“I’m influenced by a lot of different things. I listened to Motown and folk as a child, World music in college, Reggae and Brazilian music and African music . . . I love jazz, I love hip-hop, I love pop. I love a really sweet story or emotional kind of experience and that’s what I strive for in my songwriting…visual lyrics and a strong melody, where the music is able to move people.”

Suzanna’s music is difficult to categorize. Rock music critic Jim DeRogatis, sums it well: “equal parts beat poetry, smoky soul grooves and indie-pop eccentricity. Whatever the descriptors may be, she has a distinctive sound for an artist from Texas, but it is still Texan.
