   About Sue Hadjopoulos
READ SUE'S INTERVIEW IN THE APRIL, 2008 IN TUNE MONTHLY MAGAZINE ONLINE ARCHIVES.

Sue Hadjopoulos is, undoubtably, the only Greek-Puerto Rican percussionist in the industry today!

Sue began her professional career in the field of Latin music as a founding member and timbalera of Latin Fever, a 14 piece all female salsa band produced by Larry Harlow and signed to the Fania label. Their album "Larry Harlow Presents Latin Fever" rose to the top of the Latin charts and yielded a No. 1 hit in Puerto Rico. When the group played Madison Square Garden for a sold out Latin All Stars concert, the legendary Tito Puente, after hearing Sue's scorching timbale solo, warned the audience he was going to retire.

Teaming up with Joe Jackson on the classic platinum-selling CD "Night & Day" and accompanying world tour, established Sue as an innovator in the field of contemporary music.

As a direct result of her work on "Night & Day", she garnered lauditory press around the globe and Modern Drummer Magazine Readers voted Sue one of their favorite top 5 percussionists.

Sue was also a featured player on the Grammy award winning CD, "Symphony No. 1" by Joe Jackson.

Sue's smooth blend of pop/salsa rhythms has become her trademark. Known for her versatility, inspired percussion arrangements and strong vocal harmonies, she has since worked with such diverse artists as: Joe Jackson, Simple Minds, Cyndi Lauper, Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias, Clarence Clemons, Southside Johnny, The B-52s, Basia, Barry Manilow, Kenny Loggins, Toni Braxton, Laurie Anderson, David Byrne, They Might Be Giants, Rickie Lee Jones, Davy Jones (Monkees), Mic Jones (Foreigner), Jane Siberry, Vicki Sue Robinson, Teena Marie and the legendary songwriter Laura Nyro.

She can also be heard on a variety of jingles including Club Med, Pringles, Miller Beer, and the theme for Home Shopping Network (En Espanol).

Sue has appeared in many music videos and has performed on major network TV shows all over the world including: The Dave Letterman Show, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Saturday Night Live, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The Vibe Show, Top of the Pops (UK) and The American Music Awards.

Sue is also an accomplished composer. She co-wrote, arranged, produced and performed the song "Breaking Up" for the movie, BAR GIRLS, an Orion Pictures release. She also co-wrote the book and music, and originated the the sound design for "The Rose Slippers", a children's musical, (inspired by the Jose Marti poem "Los Zapaticos de Rosa") which was staged at The Looking Glass Theater, and for which she received a rave review in the New York Times. She also originated the percussion parts for the innovative theatrical production inspired by Gustave Flaubert's "The Temptation of St. Anthony", created and directed by Robert Wilson with music and libretto by Bernice Johnson Reagon. Sue performed at the world premiere in 2003 at the Geblasehalle, Duisburg, Germany and toured with the production in Europe. Sue is currently working on a variety of film projects and original bands.

Sue has also been interviewed in Modern Drummer, Drum! Magazine, Classic Drummer, Modern Percussionist, Musico Pro, Rhythm Magazine (UK) and Slagwerkkrant Magazine (Holland). She has also written feature articles for RockrGrl Magazine, Drummergirl.com, Modern Drummer and Drum! Magazine.

Sue Hadjopoulos endorses REMO World Percussion and drumheads, Paiste Cymbals, Vater Sticks, Rhythm Tech Percussion, Reference Laboratory Pro Audio Cables and H3 Drum Science Drum Stick Wax.

Sue is a member of SAG, AFTRA, AFM, ASCAP, and NARAS.
