The VMM Asks Suzy Solar all about his Year Of Dance 2010.
VMM Q: The VMM would like to know what has been your biggest achievement in 2010?
Suzy Solar: 2010 has been a very busy year for me! In 2008-2009, I was recovering from severely torn ligaments in my foot, was in a wheelchair, and had to teach myself how to walk again. With the worst of that behind me, I began 2010 with a new release with Thomas DeColita titled “The Unsaid” and started touring and producing again. I’m amazed and thankful that I can walk normally now, so I consider my biggest achievement this year as being back on the stage, performing like I was never injured.
VMM Q: Can you tell the VMM what moments from 2010 will you never forget?
Suzy Solar: Some of my most memorable gigs were “Decibel” (Calgary, Canada), “Summersound Music Festival”(Tampa) with Josh Gabriel, Czar (Tampa) with Infected Mushroom, and “Divalicious” (Seattle). My most memorable club night was at Karu & Y at WMC Miami, where I partied with two of my musical heroes, Ferry Corsten and Solarstone. Recently, I personally handed my newest track to Paul Oakenfold. I also did an interview for a big TV show in Argentina, “Residentes TV,” and was called to audition for a part on a major medical drama TV show on ABC in the US.
