SUSIE C SHEARD WAS BORN IN CHICAGO ILLINOIS , JUST HOURS AFTER HER GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S FUNREAL , ON MAY 6, 1990, WHICH IS HOW SHE GOT HER NAME. SUSIE WAS A PARTICULAR BABY FROM BIRTH. HER EXISTENCE DEMANDED ATTENTION EVEN BEFORE SHE WAS BORN. AT 5 MONTHS OF PREGNANCY SUSIE WAS READY TO LET THE WORLD KNOW SHE HAD ARRIVED. WITH THREE AMBULANCES FIGHTING TO BE APART OF HER BIRTH THAT NIGHT, NO ONE KNEW JUST HOW OR WHO SUSIE SHEARD WAS UPON HER ARRIVAL. SHE CAME INTO THE WORLD WITH A BANG. AT THE AGE OF 4 YRS OLD SUSIE STARTED TELLING STORIES TO HER PRE-SCHOOL CLASSMATES. HER STORIES WHERE SO REAL AND LIFE-LIKE, THAT EVEN HER TEACHERS WOULD STOP AND LISTEN. HER CLASSMATES NAMED HER “THE STORY TELLER”. HER ELEMENTARY TEACHERS THOUGHT HER DICTION AND LOVE FOR WORDS WAS EXTRAORDINARY. THERE WASN'T A WORD SUSIE COULD NOT PRONOUNCE OR SPELL. HER READING WAS OUSTANDING. AT 5 YEARS OLD SUSIE BEGAN GETTING INVOLVED IN TALENT SHOWS AS WELL AS POETRY RECITALS. FROM THERE SUSIE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE POWER OF WORDS AND PROSE AND POETRY, AS WELL AS WRITING AND CREATING STORIES. SHE MADE HER PARENTS PROUD. AT 6, HER OLDER BROTHER INTRODUCED HER TO RAP BY HEARING HIM AND HER COUSIN RAPPING, WRITING AND GOING INTO THE STUDIO TO CUT THEIR FIRST DEMO. WHEN SUSIE HEARD HOW THEIR RAPS SOUNDED AFTER PUT TO MUSIC, SHE BECAME EXCITED AND WANTED TO GO INTO THE STUDIO TO DO THE SAME. UNFORTUNATELY, NO ONE TOOK HER SERIOUS. A 6 YEAR OLD FEMALE WHO COULD RAP-IT WAS UNREAL AND UNHEARD OF. SOON AFTER, SUSIE BEGAN WRITING HER OWN RAPS AND COLLECTING THEM IN HER NOTEBOOK. BY 7 SHE HAD WELL OVER 50 DIFFERENT RAPS, ALTHOUGH SHE CONTINUED TO ENTER POETRY CONTESTS AND TALENT SHOWS AT SCHOOL. A TEACHER HEARD SOME OF HER POETRY AND INVITED HER TO WRITE SOMETHING FOR THE SCHOOL’S BLACK HISTORY MONTH PROGRAM WHILE SHE WAS IN 6TH GRADE. SHE DID THAT SHOW AND THE WHOLE 7TH AND 8TH GRADE CLASSES WENT CRAZY OVER HER. SHE BECAME VERY POPULAR IN ELEMENTARY AS WELL AS MIDDLE SCHOOL . THE WHOLE SCHOOL KNEW HER AS “THE LITTLE GIRL THAT CAN RAP”. SUSIE STARTED GETTING OFFERS FROM TEACHERS TO ENTER POETRY SLAMS THAT WOULD WIN HER MONEY. IN 2001 SHE ENTERED HER FIRST POETRY SLAM AND WROTE A POEM TITLED “9/11” AND WON THE GRAND PRIZE OF $100.00 ALONG WITH ANOTHER POEM SHE RECITED. AT 11 AND 12 SUSIE WAS SERIOUSLY WRITING POETRY AND RAPS. SOME OF HER POETRY WAS PUBLISHED IN SCHOOL NEWSPAPERS. AT 12 SUSIE MOVED TO ATLANTA AND WENT INTO THE STUDIO FOR THE FIRST TIME. SHE HAD A PERSONAL MENTOR WHO TAUGHT HER HOW TO LAY A TRACK DOWN PERFECTLY. JAY-Z, NAS, TUPAC, MC LYTE, LEFTEYE, QUEEN LATIFAH AND MANY MORE WERE MAJOR INFLUENCES ON HER STYLE OF WRITING. SHE WENT INTO THE STUDIO AND LAID A TRACK DOWN ON THE FIRST TRY WITHOUT ANY MISTAKES IN 10 MINUTES. EVERYONE WAS AMAZED, BUT NOT AT HOW ON KEY AND PERFECT SHE DID THE TRACK, BUT AT HOW MATURE HER VOICE SOUNDED, THE WORDS, AND THE RYTHM OF HER RAPPING. HER POPULARITY EXTENDED IN THE SCHOOL CHOIR AND IN WRITING CONTESTS. SHE’S GOTTEN STANDING OVATIONS AT EVERY SCHOOL PERFORMANCE FOR HOLIDAYS ETC. SHE BECAME SO POPULAR WITH HER WRITING AND LOVE FOR RAPPING, THAT THE TEACHERS OFTEN CAME TO HER TO WRITE THINGS FOR SCHOOL PLAYS AND MUSICALS. HER PRESENCE ON STAGE WAS AS IF SHE OWNED THE STAGE AND SHE ALWAYS MAINTAINED THE AUDIENCE’S FULL ATTENTION. HER LATEST SONG IS TITLED "21 ABOUT MINE." AND IT TALKS ABOUT HOW SHE’S 16 YEARS OLD, BUT ABLE TO ACT GROWN UP. FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED SUSIE'S REMARKABLE TALENT, GET READY……..BECAUSE THIS IS A YOUNG LADY BEFORE HER TIME WHOSE TALENTS WILL NOT ONLY AMAZE YOU, BUT HAVE YOU STANDING, APPLAUDING, AND SCREAMING FOR MORE.
