Born in Beirut, Suzi Kory’s parents moved the family to Toronto when she was eight months old. Her mother, a devoted fan of country music would continuously play classic country, and Kory found herself singing along. By her teens, she became exposed to hard rock, most notably Guns Nâ Roses.
âSeeing Axl Rose perform I realized I wanted to be a performer,â she says. âI had a keyboard and a microphone and I started writing songs, but my parents were dead set against it.”
Having spent several years abroad, it was after her move back to North America and a fateful meeting with her idol and inspiration Axl Rose that the fire to write and perform was reignited.
