about
Suzanne Prentice’s entertainment career has spanned over 30 years. Aged 12, Suzanne took to the stage in Invercargill, New Zealand playing to an auditorium packed with country music fans. Strumming a guitar, nearly as big as herself, with unbelievable poise and complete vocal control, Suzanne broke into “I’m Little But I’m Loud”, and completely brought the house down. Two years later Suzanne released her first record and it was an immediate hit. The following year, at the Australasian Country Music awards, aged only 14, she received the Gold Guitar Award for best female vocalist. She then went on to receive this award an unprecedented three times. Her musical career has been phenomenal. Suzanne can look back on almost 20 years of unparalleled success. Her albums are confirmed best sellers as soon as they are released, not only in New Zealand but also in Australia. Suzanne’s first Gospel album made history, when ‘One Day At A Time’ made platinum status in two weeks and went on to achieve triple platinum status, and secure Suzanne yet another Gold Guitar Award as Australasia’s top selling album of the year. Her album ‘When I Dream’ achieved platinum status within just 10 days of release. In 1984, she was awarded New Zealand Entertainer of the Year. Suzanne has recorded television specials both in New Zealand and Australia, performed before the Queen and Prince Philip at a Royal Variety Performance in Auckland, and realised a major ambition when she appeared at Wembley Stadi
