Growing up in Detroit in a family full of musicians, Suzi Quatro was no stranger on how to command a stage and make people fall in love with her. She was just a teen when she was fronting a band in style.
By the 70s she had already hit the rock scene and made a name for herself. She was known for her iconic leather jumpsuit, the bass that she carried around and that attitude that gave off badass and cool energy.
She navigated a male-dominated industry and reshaped it by showing what style and pure talent could look like. That’s how quickly she became the unmistakable force known as the godmother of rock.
