ʻO ke kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio ʻo Suzanne Nadine Vega
ʻAʻole hiki ke kapa ʻia nā makahiki pēpē o kahi kaikamahine maʻalahi. ʻO ka makuahine o Susanne, nona nā aʻa German-Swedish, i hana ma ke ʻano he polokalamu. I ka makahiki 1960, ua haʻalele ka wahine i kāna kāne i ka wā ʻaʻole i piha ka makahiki o ka pēpē. A ua mare hou ʻo ia i kahi mea kākau, he kumu no Puerto Rico, ʻo Ed Vega.
Ua neʻe ka ʻohana ʻōpio i New York. Ma ʻaneʻi i ulu ai ke kaikamahine ma ka hapahā Sepania. Ua hānai ʻia ʻo ia e ʻekolu mau kaikunāne a me nā kaikunāne. Ua mākaukau ʻo ia ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania a me ka Paniolo. A hiki i ka makahiki 9, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻike i kekahi mea ʻaʻole ke kaikamahine ponoʻī a Ed.

ʻO ke aloha o Suzanne Vega i ke mele
Ma ka hale o ka ʻohana Susan, hoʻokani mau ʻia nā mele o nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole - folk, jazz, soul, etc. ʻO kāna mau mea hoʻoikaika nui i kēia leʻaleʻa: ʻO Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Judith Collins, Joan Baez.
I kona aʻo ʻana ma ke kula, ua hoʻomohala ʻo ia i nā mea leʻaleʻa, e like me ka palapala a i ʻole ka hula. Akā i ka hopena, ua kālele ʻo Vega i kona nānā ʻana i nā mele mele.
ʻO ka'ahamele koʻikoʻi mua a ke kaikamahine i hele ai i ka makahiki 19,ʻo ia ka hana a Lou Reed. ʻO ka hana a kēia mea hoʻokani pila i hoʻoikaika nui i ka manaʻo o Suzanne e komo i nā mele ʻōiwi.
ʻO ka hoʻomaka a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka ʻoihana ʻo Suzanne Vega
ʻOiai ʻo ia e aʻo ana ma ke Kulanui ʻo Barnard (ma ke Kulanui ʻo Columbia) ma ke ʻano o "English Literature" ua loaʻa ʻo Vega i kāna mau hana mua ma ka hale pule a me nā kahua kalapu. Ma hope mai, hoʻomaka nā ʻahaʻaina a me nā ʻahamele ma ke kahua o nā hui ʻo Greenwich Village.
Ua pau nā haʻawina kula i ka makahiki 1982, a ua hoʻomau ke kaikamahine i ka hana. A ma kekahi o lākou ua hui ʻo ia me nā mea hōʻikeʻike ʻo Ronald Firestein lāua ʻo Steve Eddabbo.

ʻO ka album mua a Susanna Vega a lanakila koke
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hana ʻo Vega i kāna inoa ponoʻī. A i ka makahiki 1985 me Patti Smith, Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Lenny Kaye i kāna album mua ʻo Suzanne Vega, kahi i hoʻokomo i ke mele ʻo Marlene ma ka Wall. I kēia manawa, ʻaʻole i hoʻohewa ka poʻe hoʻohewa i ka hōkū i hānau ʻia no kāna kūpaʻa ʻana i nā mele mele, akā naʻe, hoʻomaikaʻi iā ia.
I ka wā mua, ua kamaʻilio ʻo A&M Records e pili ana i ke kiʻekiʻe kūʻai i manaʻo ʻia o ka album mua a ke kaikamahine 26 makahiki ma 30 kope. Akā ua hiki ke kūʻai aku i nā helu kupaianaha - ma kahi o 1 miliona mau kope ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. Ua lilo ka album mua i kekahi o nā album maikaʻi loa o nā makahiki 1980.
I ka makahiki 1986, ua haku ke kaikamahine i kekahi mau mele no ka puke album Philip Glass mai Liquid Days. ʻO ka album lua o ka mea mele Solitude Standing i kūʻai aku i 3 miliona mau kope ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. Ua komo i loko o ka mele Luka, i lilo i mea kaulana loa. ʻO ka mea hoʻokahi mai ka album Tom's Diner i lilo i mea hōʻailona o Vega.
Ua hoʻohana akamai ke kaikamahine i kona hiki ke hoʻowalewale i ka lehulehu me kāna mau haku mele. ʻO ka manawa pinepine ʻo kāna mau kumu hoʻoikaika ʻana he mau puke ʻepekema ʻepekema a lāʻau lapaʻau, ka mea i hōʻike i ka manaʻo o Suzanne i waho o ka pahu.
ʻAʻohe mea i hiki ke hoʻomaopopo piha i kona ʻano - he kanaka e auwana ana i kāna honua moemoeā. Hōʻike ʻia kēia e ka album Days of Open Hand, ʻaʻole i loaʻa i ke kākoʻo paʻa ʻole mai nā mea pā.
ʻO ke ola pilikino o Suzanne Vega
Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Suzanne i ka makahiki 1992, me ka mea hana ʻo Mitchell Froom, i ka album 99.9F °, i lilo i mele mele mele maikaʻi loa o ka makahiki. I loko o kāna mau haku mele, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Vega me ke kani, e lawe ʻia ana me ka synthesizer a me ka mīkini pahu.
Ma hope koke iho ua male ʻo Susan lāua ʻo Mitchell, a laila hānau ʻia kā lāua kaikamahine ʻo Rabi. Ua hiki iā Vega ke hoʻopaʻa i kāna album aʻe i ʻehā mau makahiki ma hope o ka hānau ʻana o kāna keiki.
ʻO ka album hou i kapa ʻia ʻo Nine Objects of Desire, ua ʻano like ia me ka mea ma mua, akā ua ʻike ʻia e kahi mālie nui.
I ka makahiki 1998, ua haʻalele ʻo Susan i kāna kāne. A i ka manawa like, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Tried & True: The Best of Suzanne Vega - kahi album hōʻuluʻulu o nā mele maikaʻi loa a ka mea mele.
ʻO ke ola o Susan i kēia manawa
I loko o ka waihona puaʻa o ka mea mele i kēia manawa aia nā album studio 8. I kēia manawa ke kaʻapuni nei ʻo ia i ka ʻāina a me ka honua. ʻAʻole i kaupalena ʻia kāna papahana ʻahamele i hoʻokahi mele kaulana ʻo Tom's Diner, kahi e hui pū ai ka poʻe hoʻolohe me ka pumehana.
