Susan Hamilton, JD

Assistant Professor - Department of Recording Industry
Middle Tennessee State University

Susan, a self-described life-long band nerd and strong advocate for proper grammar, began her musical adventures at age nine at a piano keyboard. While her heart told her to pursue music as a career, she decided that the world needed at least one more scientist. Susan then headed to the bastion of engineering and science, North Carolina State University, where she spent most of her time in the music department. After graduation, followed by a year of setting accidental fires in a chemistry lab, she decided to seek her fortune as an attorney.  Armed with a degree from Texas A&M University School of Law, she started her practice in middle Tennessee.


In 2013, Susan founded a music blog, and in 2015 founded another (because one just wasn’t enough) to scratch her creative itches. In keeping with the question “What don’t you do?” which she hears on a regular basis, Susan closed her law practice in 2017 to pursue a full-time career in public relations. he’s currently the Communications Director at Brooklyn Basement in Nashville, and is an assistant professor in the Department of Recording Industry at Middle Tennessee State University.
