Music

Suzi Quatro began her performing career at an early age, making her stage debut playing bongos in her father’s jazz ensemble, the The Art Quatro Trio. 

Classically trained in piano and percussion, she expanded into rock music at 14 when she formed the all-female band The Pleasure Seekers with her sister Patti. 

Initially assigned the bass guitar, she quickly emerged as the group’s lead vocalist and frontwoman. The band toured extensively for seven years, released several singles, and later evolved into Cradle. 

During this period, producer Mickie Most discovered her at a live performance and offered her a solo contract, prompting her move to England in 1971.

Solo

In the UK, Suzi Quatro began collaborating with the songwriting and production team of Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. This partnership yielded her breakthrough hit, “Can the Can”, which reached number one in May 1973 and sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide. 

Between 1973 and 1980, she spent 101 weeks in the British charts and ultimately sold more than 55 million records globally. Her catalogue of hits includes “48 Crash”, “Devil Gate Drive”, “The Wild One”, “She’s in Love With You” and “If You Can’t Give Me Love”.

In 1989, she became one of the first major rock artists to tour Russia, performing to more than half a million people in six weeks.

In 2022, she issued “Uncovered” and in 2023 released the duet album Face to Face with KT Tunstall. The latter achieved top-ten chart positions and won Album of the Year from Jools Holland.

In 2024, she embarked on her 38th tour of Australia, becoming the record holder for international artists touring the country.
