Career The Psychiatrists/The Unconscious Exposure to punk rock changed her career goal from being a dancer to being a musician in a band. When she entered college, she was a fan of classic rock bands, and while a student she attended the final Sex Pistols show at Winterland Ballroom, and a Patti Smith concert. In 1980, Hoffs graduated from Berkeley, with a bachelor's degree in art. While in college, she worked as a production assistant for, and made her acting debut in, the 1978 film Stony Island directed by her mother. She had begun playing guitar in Elementary School, learning chords from her uncle. Īt the age of five, Hoffs started practicing ballet, and maintained an active interest in dance up to her admission to University of California, Berkeley, where she switched majors between dancing, theater, film and painting. She described the home environment as an "atheist, intellectual, creative world".
She was the couple's only daughter they had two sons. She is the daughter of film director/writer/producer Tamar Ruth (née Simon) and Joshua Allen Hoffs, a psychoanalyst. Susanna Lee Hoffs was born in Newport Beach, California, on January 17, 1959, to a Jewish family. 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. Another album of originals, Someday (2012) was followed by the cover albums Bright Lights (2021) and The Deep End (2023). She teamed with Sweet to produce three albums of cover songs. 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. Neither of the releases proved to be as popular as the Bangles' albums. Hoffs released her first solo album, When You're a Boy, in 1991, followed by Susanna Hoffs in 1996. She starred in the comedy movie The Allnighter (1987), again directed by her mother, which was a commercial and critical failure. Hoffs appeared in the films Stony Island (1978) and The Haircut (1982), both directed by her mother, Tamar Simon Hoffs.
The Bangles reformed in 1999 and released albums in 20. Following tensions in the band that included resentment at Hoffs being perceived as the band's leader, the group split in 1989. The groups 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. They released their first full length album All Over the Place on Columbia Records in 1984. Hoffs, Debbi and Vicki Peterson founded the Bangles (earlier called the Bangs) in 1981. Susanna Lee Hoffs (born January 17, 1959) is an American singer, guitarist, songwriter, actress and author.
