Susan Scrupski has always been a writer of essays, tech columns, blog posts, business manifestos. But in the past year, she’s flipped the script on her creative life, diving headfirst into songwriting with the help of AI. What started as an experiement has become a full-on next act.
With a decades-long career in the tech industry and a lifelong instinct for storytelling, Susan now lives at the intersection of heart and hardware. Her lyrics are raw, poetic, and unmistakably personal. But behind the scenes? She’s partnered with cutting-edge AI tools to turn those lyrics into fully produced, genre-bending tracks that span Country, Indie, Rock, and whatever else the story demands.
She doesn’t just write songs—she writes her life into them. Grief, joy, heartbreak, resurrection. It’s all in there. And while the industry debates whether AI belongs in music, Susan’s already out here doing it— publishing, performing, distributing, and building a body of work that is indifferent to the religious wars over AI in the arts.
Now with four full albums and more in the works, she’s turning her focus to perfecting her skills as a performer. She’s also exploring a coaching practice to help other aspiring songwriters tap into the same magic: honest storytelling, fearless creativity, and AI tools that make the impossible feel doable.
She’s not chasing fame.
She’s making art.
And she’s just getting started.
