Suzi Rawn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Suzi Rawn (b. August 31, 1982 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario) was a top 4 finalist in Canadian Idol season 3. She is known for her rock and blues singing style as well as her unique clothing amongst the Canadian Idol finalists. Her hometown is Kamloops, but she grew up in Ottawa and has lived in Calgary and Montreal. Rawn routinely performs with her band, "King Size Suzi", often with fellow Kamloops band, "Unit 731". "She's the most talented musician I've seen come from this country," said Kamloops resident Brett Olson, in a Kamloops Daily News article, dated August 23, 2005. She is currently engaged to Craig McKay, King Size Suzi's drummer. She has a daughter named Jolie (born on July 22, 2003).

Songs Suzi has performed this season include:

  • Audition: "Let It Rain" (Amanda Marshall)
  • Top 183: "Me and Bobby McGee" (Janis Joplin)
  • Top 48: "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston)
  • Top 32: "Fortunate Son" (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
  • Top 10: "Everytime I See Your Picture" (Luba) (Canadian Hits week)
  • Top 9: "Higher Ground" (Stevie Wonder week)
  • Top 8: "Heartbreaker" (Pat Benetar) (Eighties week)
  • Top 7: "Minnie the Moocher" (Big Band week)
  • Top 6: "Piece Of My Heart" (Janis Joplin) (Classic Rock week)
  • Top 5: "American Woman" (The Guess Who week)
  • Top 4: "Heartbreak Hotel", "I Can't Help Falling in Love" (Elvis week)

Rawn was in the bottom three on three different occasions until she received the lowest number of votes on August 31 and was sent home.

Rawn's major-label debut album, "Naked", was released on October 10 on Sony BMG. Sadly, her album hasn't gotten much promotion, disappointing many fans. The first single from the album, also called "Naked" has been released to radio stations across Canada.


Due to lack of promotion Suzi has said that they are going to re-release the album and have a video for the next single, "Bet U Like Me".
