About Me

As a seasoned professional musician, composer, songwriter, and arranger, I have established my own musical genre by creating epic orchestral themes, counterpoint melodies, and sweet harmonies to evoke emotions of the heart and turn classics into timeless masterpieces.

In 1976, Universal Studios contracted Mr. Sussman to supply and maintain Luxury Dressing Rooms for award winning TV and Movie Personalities. Most Notable, Best Supporting Oscar winner Brenda Vaccaro, Emmy nominated actor Bill Bixby, and Emmy Award winning actress, Lindsey Wagner. Mr. Sussman was street schooled in movie making firsthand, by personalities such as Richard Anderson, Robert Mandan, and Bill Bixby himself. Mr. Sussman was indeed privileged to have been invited onto studio sets to watch and learn from such shows as “Sara”, starring Brenda Vaccaro, “The Bionic Woman” starring Lindsey Wagner, and the TV Pilot, “Brannigan” starring Bill Bixby.  Watching and learning the day to day operations of the Motion Picture and Television industry helped in forming his love for the musical side of the motion picture industry.

Mr. Sussman was asked by the Southern California Hospice Foundation to write the music and arrange lyric’s for a Make a Wish by “Thomas”.. Thomas’ “Make a Wish”, was to have a song he’d written professionally produced. Mr. Sussman was contracted by the Foundation with a project turnaround time of 10-days.. The entire experience went perfect.. Project can be accessed in the video section for this IMDb page and on the Southern California Hospice Foundation website.

Mr. Sussman has been writing and arranging for over 30 years. In professional associate’s reviews of Mr. Sussman, his work is said to show an outstanding quality, and is compared to composers such as Burt Bacharach or John Williams.

Mr. Sussman truly lives his deep-seated philosophy, “Music that can bring forth true emotion cannot be written; it must be born” CK Sussman
