Before Women in Rock, There Was Suzi Quatro

What does it take to become the woman who kicked the door open for generations of female rock musicians — and still sound this fearless today? 🎸🔥 In this episode, Rob Cass sits down with Suzi Quatro, one of rock’s true pioneers, to talk about the moments, risks, and instincts that shaped her into a global icon. From finding her voice as a kid to becoming the first woman to truly own the bass at the front of a rock band, Suzi’s story is as bold as her sound.We dive into her early years in Detroit, her love of Motown, the legendary 1957 Fender Precision her father gave her, and the journey from The Pleasure Seekers and Cradle to stepping fully into her solo career. Suzi reflects on the point when “little Suzi” became Suzi Quatro, why nobody could hide her light, and how she learned to trust her own identity. We also talk about her long career as a songwriter, performer, actress, and trailblazer — from chart-topping hits like Can the Can and Devil Gate Drive, to Happy Days, to selling over 50 million records worldwide ✨And yes, this episode is packed with unforgettable stories: the moment Elvis called, the producer she knew she had to work with, her thoughts on keeping truth in film, and why you have to win your audience every single night. Suzi also opens up about the legacy of paving the way for women in rock, her new rock’n’roll album, and even plays her three favorite basslines live 🎶 Honest, funny, fierce, and full of wisdom, this conversation is a must-watch for rock fans, musicians, and anyone who loves hearing from someone who truly changed the game.
