Our People
Suzy Davies
I’m a Welsh-born Composer/Lyricist/Arranger/Music Director, now based in North London.
I’ve composed and conducted on projects for many companies including Kazzum, Little Angel Theatre, Old Vic New Voices, Clean Break and Almeida Theatre. I also facilitate singing workshops for corporate organisations including BDO LLP, PwC and CloudSense.
I’m co-founder and Artistic Director of The Kaos Organisation, a community arts company specialising in integrated arts activities for children and young people.
As an Ensemble Leader for ISTA (the International Schools Theatre Association) I work at festivals all over the world.
I love exploring and experimenting with diverse musical styles and traditions, from folk to funk, Bhangra to punk.
A selection of my cross-curricular songs is published by Collins.
I’ve always been passionate about vocal harmonies and I direct, compose and arrange for several bands and choirs, including The Kaos Signing Choir for Deaf & Hearing Children, who sang and signed the National Anthem at the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics. The choir’s recent performances include the O2 and the Royal Albert Hall as part of TEDMED 2014. I'm MD/Arranger/Pianist for The Angels Of Kaos - North London's finest casual singers.
I’ve worked on several projects for Old Vic New Voices, including ‘Somme Theatre – On The Middle Day’ and Epidemic – an award-winning, large-scale community musical staged at the Old Vic Tunnels in 2012.
I firmly believe that anyone can sing. If someone says they can’t, you can usually trace it back to a single incident (usually in childhood) when somebody (usually an unfit music teacher) told them they couldn’t. You might not be able to satisfy the likes of Simon Cowell, but then again, do you really want to? After all, if everybody sang the same we’d get tired of listening to each other!
