Artist Description
The Aruba-born singer/songwriter, Susan Cagle was discovered by producer Jay Levine, during a show in the Herald Square subway station. "I went to see her and there were hundreds of people around buying her CDs," Levine recalled of the first time he met Cagle, who had already sold more than 30,000 copies of her self-made CD. "Her voice was so unbelievable, so positive and uplifting in such an unlikely place ... she was like a diamond in a pile of rocks, hypnotizing everyone who passed."Levine, in turn, introduced her to then new president of Columbia Records, Steve Greenberg. She soon became his first signing in this placement.She is perhaps best know for her appearance on The Oprah Winfrey show on May 10, 2007 performing her song "Dear Oprah", a touching and sincere ode to billionaire talk show host "Dear Oprah" features Cagle’s own lyrics "Dear Oprah, Have you ever felt like breakin’ down/ when there ain't no one who cares around/did ever you feel this way back in the day so blue/ what did you do?"
Cagle’s music is undeniably uplifting and positive. In an interview with MTV she said "When I'm like 80 and people come up to me and say, 'Hey, Susan, I listened to your song and it really encourages me. I was going to give up my life but your music made me want to fight harder,' that's all I want."
