Her initial big dream of becoming a professional opera singer did not pan out.
Lucky for us, though, because instead she became (in this podcast host’s humble opinion) one of her generation’s best singer/songwriters.
In this interview for The Person You Want to Be, Susan Werner candidly shares the highs and lows of her path toward authentic creative self-expression. We hear how pivotal life experiences informed some of her most impactful songs, and how “not being famous” has allowed her the freedom to follow her creative impulses wherever they take her.
Susan describes her chosen art form as follows:
“You’re just holding up a mirror…and if you made a good mirror, everyone sees their own face in it. That’s what makes a song powerful, is the ability to help people look at their own lives.”
