The newly married Suzanne Casale Melone (aka Lil Suzy) was born on March 1st in Brooklyn, New York. Her career began at the very young age of five when an agent spotted her performing at Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn, where she performed cover hits of superstars such as Madonna, Tina Turner and Cyndi Lauper. Soon after, she was being booked to perform at various New York nightspots, including the infamous Studio 54 where she rocked the crowds at that tender age.

1987: She was signed to her very first record contract at age eight and even performed on "Star Search". Her first single entitled "Randy" was released during that time by Fever Records and she went on to perform at various events with other popular freestyle legends.

1991-1992: At the age of 12, her very first album "Love Can't Wait" was released. She had her very first hit single "Take me in your Arms" at the age of 13, which became a huge Freestyle dance hit. The single was her first to go gold and reached ..1 on Billboards Dance chart. The song was also the first song that Lil Suzy filmed a music video to. This followed by the opening of Empress Records which made Lil Suzy the youngest president of a record label in the music business!


1994-1995: Suzy released her single "Promise Me" in which climbed onto the Billboards Hot 100. In April of 1995 she released her third album under the freedom of her own record label. The album was entitled "Life Goes On" and she then released the single "Now and Forever". In December of 1995 she released a eurodance track single called "When I Fall in Love". The single was accompanied by her third music video. This popular song received heavy radio rotation and was different than anything Suzy had recorded previously. Suzy also performed on the nationwide talk show Jenny Jones while continuing her studies at a local High School in Staten Island, New York.


1999: "You're the Only One" was released in November as a single to promote her fifth album "Lil Suzy:The Megamix" also released at that time. The megamix album served as her first greatest hits collection and was also released during November. It included various continuous remixes of her biggest hits as well as a newly recorded version of her classic "Take me in your arms".

2000: Suzanne opened a nail and hair salon in Staten Island, NY called "Lil Suzy's Pretty Hands and Feet" Nail and Hair Salon. Also that year, Suzanne recorded various tracks such as "Treat Me Right" , which went on to become a Canadian dance hit and received heavy radio play on Z103.5 in Toronto. That came as no surprise, being that Lil Suzy has a wide fan base in Canada as well as in Germany and the U.S.

2001: In January of 2001, Lil Suzy's Paradise.com was launched as a tribute fan site to Lil Suzy while she was preparing her greatest hits for release. The site became a hit with her long-time fans. Suzanne also recorded a promo of the provocatively titled "From the Inside", which was heard on KTU Radio in NY. This great song had a totally different sound than anything that Suzanne has ever released and was distributed under her real name of Suzanne Casale. Unfortunately, this very hot "underground" club track was not released as a single. The song was supposed to have been released in October of 2001 by Empire/BMG who bought the track for release but just sat on it. Suzy then recorded the song "Just A Freak", which featured fellow artist Stephanie. The track was set for release by 24/7 Records, which then filed for bankruptcy, leaving "Just A Freak" unreleased as well.

2002: Suzanne released "Lil Suzy: The Greatest Hits" in January, which included all of her greatest hits, including three hot new tracks which she co-wrote. Also, that year Suzanne recorded "Still I Cry", which was featured on a "EuroFreestyle" compilation CD, and "You'll See". The songs were co-produced by Canadian artist/producer Elissa who previously worked with Suzanne on "Treat Me Right".

2002-2003: A single was released in Germany in April 2002 entitled "Dont You Want Me", which was a duet with fellow artist Collage. The song was a cover version of the original 1982 classic originally performed by The Human League. That year, Suzy was also interviewed for the "Kings and Queens of Freestyle" Video which would go on to be released on DVD in 2003. The end of 2003 brought Suzanne much happiness in which she became engaged to be married to her long time boyfriend Marc Melone.

2004: SPG Music Canada re-released "Lil Suzy: The Greatest Hits" in Canada, which featured new 2004 club remixes of "Take Me In Your Arms" and "You're The Only One".
