Sussy Taveras


Sussy is a true multi-tasker she is a student, a graphic designer and is a perfume evaluator. Her professional passion, however, is singing and songwriting. She is currently working on her demo and really wants to lose the weight to be camera ready. Sussy’s life passion is her daughter, Seanna. Seanna (which means God is Gracious) who is 3 years old. Sussy has gone through a lot in the past few years, starting with the death of Seanna's father only 5 months after her birth (they were together at the time of his death). She also had a uterine cancer scare last year for which she underwent surgery (she is cancer free now). The love of Sussy’s life is Syrus Castanedas. She is very happy with Syrus and says, "[He] treats my daughter as if she were his own." Syrus is also Sussy’s songwriting partner and publisher.
