Suzanne Nadine Vega (born July 11, 1959) is an American singer-songwriter known for her eclectic folk-inspired music.〔(Allmusic biography: Suzanne Vega )〕〔(BBC Four: Richard Thompson, Suzanne Vega, Loudon Wainwright )〕 Two of Vega's songs (both from her second album ''Solitude Standing'', 1987) reached the top 10 of various international chart listings: "Luka" and "Tom's Diner". The latter was originally an ''a cappella'' version on Vega's album, which was then remade in 1990 as a dance track produced by the British dance production team DNA. Vega has released eight studio albums to date, the latest of which is ''Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles'', released in 2014. ==Early life== Vega was born July 11, 1959, in Santa Monica, California. Her mother, Pat Vega (née Schumacher), is a computer systems analyst of German-Swedish heritage. Her father, Richard Peck, is of Scottish-English-Irish origin. They divorced soon after her birth. Her stepfather, Edgardo Vega Yunqué, also known as Ed Vega, was a writer and teacher from Puerto Rico.〔() 〕 When Vega was two and a half, her family moved to New York City. She grew up in Spanish Harlem and the Upper West Side. At the age of nine she began to write poetry; she wrote her first song at age 14. Later she attended New York's prestigious High School of Performing Arts (now called LaGuardia High School).
