Suze DeMarchi
Suze DeMarchi (born 14 February 1964) is an Australian singer-songwriter, best known for fronting the band Baby Animals (1989–1996, 2007–present).
DeMarchi was born on 14 February 1964, in Perth, Western Australia to Walter, a panel beater, and Shirley DeMarchi, a singer, and has three older siblings; her sister Denise is also a singer. She grew up in Karrinyup, where she attended Newman College. DeMarchi began her singing career in the early 1980s when she was 17, playing in local band Photoplay, with Mark Lizotte, and subsequently local cover band, the Kind.
Her paternal grandfather was Italian, and she also has French, German, and Irish heritage, and holds an Irish passport.
In 1985, she moved to London, England, where she was signed to EMI and had a fairly successful solo career in pop music, where she released a number of singles: "Young Hearts", "Big Wednesday" and "Dry Your Eyes".
Disheartened by the record company's attempt to slide her into a pop career, along with missing working with a band, she returned to Australia in mid-1989, where she and fellow Perth musicians Frank Celenza, Eddie Parise and Dave Leslie formed the band Baby Animals. The band met with success in their native Australia, releasing two albums, touring with Van Halen, and winning various awards before permanently disbanding in 1996. This was mostly due to legal battles with their record label Imago and Suze having nodules in her throat – she even had to stop singing for a short while because of them – in 1993, which forced the band to cut short the tour for their second album.
In 1994, DeMarchi collaborated with her husband Nuno Bettencourt on the song "God Took a Picture", which appeared in the film Highlander III: The Sorcerer.[citation needed]
After the demise of Baby Animals in 1996, DeMarchi pursued a solo career. Although living in Boston with her husband and young daughter (apparently temporarily in her mother-in-law's basement at one point), she signed to Mushroom Records Australia and released 1999's Telelove, produced by Bettencourt, and the single "Satellite". DeMarchi supported the album with a May tour around Australia as the singles "Karma" and eventually "Open Windows" hit the shelves. DeMarchi was also nominated for an ARIA Award for Best Female Artist.
In 2001, it was rumoured that DeMarchi would be joining INXS as their new front person to replace Michael Hutchence, who died in 1997, following her performance with them at a concert in December 2000 where she sang "Shine Like It Does", "Never Tear Us Apart", and dueted with Jon Stevens (frequent replacement frontman for INXS, and formerly of the band Noiseworks) for "Good Times" and "Don't Change".
