Musician of Rock and Alternative
Technical, powerful, creative and aggressive, Suzanne Sterne has upped the ante for the future of female rock bassists. At just 5' tall the petite phenom is a serious talent, wrangling an army of 5-string basses with ease and carving out an unconventional niche as frontwoman of avant-progressive rock band Ruby Bullet. Sterne's musical training began in childhood; when she discovered the bass at 16 she was already a working musician. Experience playing myriad genres from classical to jazz to world culminated in her unique style, which she brought to New York the following year. She worked off and on as a session bassist which always took second place to her artistic pursuits. As half of Ruby Bullet (with drummer Pete Vassil) Sterne's abilities are literally center stage. She can be found simultaneously performing bass, vocals and foot pedals/percussion during the band's energy charged live shows. Her mixed meter compositions are at once organic, complex and refreshing and the musical multi-tasker records "everything but the drums" in Vassil's Gain Studios. Ruby Bullet released their second EP "Splitting Heirs" in 2009.
