Seattle born Susan Hyatt's musical birth began in Los Angeles in 1978 when she first heard Blondie, the Sex Pistols and Donna Summer. For music, it was an era of contradiction in the best possible way. New wave, punk and disco may have had their own fervent -and very separate- followings, but they had more in common than each cared to admit. “People weren't afraid to have bad haircuts, or wear day glow or sing about ants invading," says singer/songwriter Susan Hyatt. It was the love for new wave British music that inspired Hyatt to pick up and move to London in 1994 after graduating from UCLA with a BA in Music/Art History. "I was playing various instruments in several LA bands, working as a freelance journalist and I just felt London calling to me." "I found myself backstage at every show, interviewing Sting for my own personal fanzine, snogging Bob Geldof so I could get on a BBC Music Documentary, and holding the rhythm section of XTC’s hands while we watched Andy Partridge have a nervous breakdown, never to tour again. I took an airplane to Scotland and found myself befriending Bono as he so kindly carried my Adam and the Ants ‘Prince Charming’ life-size cardboard cutout for me across the airport, and asking me if I thought he will ever meet Mick Jagger? When I was lucky enough to go on a date with Mick I found myself completely mute!" After her first solo single in 1984 in LA, things picked up for Hyatt. Hyatt's grungy-punk rock group Pillbox had a Top 20 debut single in the UK. Pillbox recorded one Album and two follow-up EPS on Hyatt's own label NYC Records/Pinnacle. Pillbox songs are still being licensed to Fear Factor, the Apprentice, Lovely & Amazing, Dawson’s' Creek, just to name a few. Hyatt was then recruited as a TV host and became a well-known VJ on London's MP3TV. She then served as a guitarist/rock star consultant to Gina Gershon for the girl rock flick "Prey For Rock n' Roll." Playing guitar for Electronic Virgin Music Artist Juliet, paid off big-time when Hyatt got to open for all time favourite band Duran Duran. It was on tour that Hyatt befriended Duran bassist John Taylor, who gave Hyatt's own band Stimulator the support slot for Duran Duran’s US Summer 2005 Arena Tour. With her band Stimulator, Hyatt sings and writes with band partner Geoff Tyson. Stimulator is going strong and the debut album comes out in March 2006 on the Lab/Universal Records. "I always want to keep things fresh and reinvent myself. I want to try a different musical journey with my solo stuff. I'm going for a darker more mature sound ala Roxy Music, ABC, Japan, Eurythmics." Hyatt is currently working on her solo record with Jeremy Ruzumna (Macy Gray), Steve Sidelnyk (Madonna) and Josh Fields.
