Suzanne Moxon was born in Brisbane , Australia 1966 and completed her Diploma in Music [instrumental] in 1987 at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music before heading to Japan in 1988 where she lived for seven years. Her music at that time blended various Japanese influences into freely improvised styles that had a minimalist quality to them.
Returning to Australia in 1998 she established herself on the Sunshine Coast as a composer and instrumental music teacher working in both primary and secondary schools whilst also moving into computer based composition.
Today, Moxon is composing music for film and TV, orchestra and multimedia. She enjoys blending music with other art forms in particular film. Her music is diverse in nature although often characterized by an energetic drive. Over the years, Moxon's style of composition has moved through experimental phases, minimalism and jazz and now has a clearer focus on traditional tonal elements mixed with jazz textures. She has been inspired and influenced by a study of various tribal music around the world as well as life experiences that often serve as the backdrop for a composition.
Moxon says of her music: "I have explored many different styles and genres over the years and now I am intent on drawing from within myself and allowing the form and style to develop as it needs to."
