Susanna Hoffs

Susanna Lee Hoffs (born January 17, 1959) is an American singer, guitarist, songwriter, actress and author. Hoffs, Debbi and Vicki Peterson founded the Bangles (earlier called the Bangs) in 1981. They released their first full length album All Over the Place on Columbia Records in 1984. The group's third album, Everything (1988) included the US top-ten hit "In Your Room" and number one "Eternal Flame", both written by Hoffs with Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. Following tensions in the band that included resentment at Hoffs being perceived as the band's leader, the group split in 1989. The Bangles reformed in 1999 and released albums in 2003 and 2011. Hoffs appeared in the films Stony Island (1978) and The Haircut (1982), both directed by her mother, Tamar Simon Hoffs. She starred in the comedy movie The Allnighter (1987), again directed by her mother, which was a commercial and critical failure. Hoffs released her first solo album, When You're a Boy, in 1991, followed by Susanna Hoffs in 1996. Neither of the releases proved to be as popular as the Bangles' albums. She later recorded several songs for movies, and formed the faux British 1960s band Ming Tea with Mike Myers and Matthew Sweet which performed in all three Austin Powers movies. She teamed with Sweet to produce three albums of cover songs. Another album of originals, Someday (2012) was followed by the cover albums Bright Lights (2021) and The Deep End (2023). Hoffs' first novel, This Bird Has Flown, a semi-autobiographical story of a struggling musician who moves from Las Vegas to Oxford, was published in April 2023.
