Bill Suarez has an amazing story of courage, survival and perseverance.  Suarez was thrown out of a window at five months old, which affected his pituitary gland and stunted his growth.  However the accident didn’t stand in the way of his tremendous success.  At only 4’10” tall, he still played nearly every position in baseball.  His prodigious talent earned him strong praise from his friend, baseball great Gary Maddox, who called Bill “the greatest player who never made the major leagues.”

Suarez also had a strong  and beautiful singing voice from age five on, which  earned him a spot with the famous group “Young Americans” in the 1960’s and 1970’s.  He recorded for ABC Records and appeared in the movie “The Young Americans” for Columbia Pictures.  The movie won an Academy Award for Best True Life Documentary.  Suarez has performed with Perry Como, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Carol Burnett, and appeared on an NBC special with Perry Como.   Suarez stopped singing to take care of his ailing parents and his aunt, and devoted himself to their care until their final days.  They have all recently passed away and he has resumed his singing career, many years later.

In 2009, Suarez enrolled in Jill Jaxx’s voice class at Harbor College.  She was amazed at his natural talent and used her teaching skills to further develop his voice.  He has evolved over the years from a tenor and now has a rich baritone voice.  He is now finishing up his first album, called “The Impossible Dream”, which is being produced by Jill Jaxx and engineered by Dino Maddalone.  Maddalone was awarded Record Producer of the Year at the 2009 Los Angeles Music Awards.  To see the EOE interview with Jaxx and Suarez, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMbPl3lXqoI

Jill Jaxx is also known as Jill Bunker.  Jill and her twin sister Jan (“Jan & Jill”) sang and danced as the original Budweiser “Pick a Pair of Six-Pack Twins” and the “Suedes” on Happy Days. They sang “Makin’ Our Dreams Come True,” the theme from Laverne & Shirley, on American Bandstand, and also appeared on several NBC specials with Ed McMahon, as well as numerous seasons with both Carol Burnett and Red Skelton. As a recording artist, Jaxx has performed on countless records in both the USA and Germany, and many commercials and voiceovers.  She is a recording artist for Capitol, CBS, 20th Century, and Daybreak, and award-winning A.S.C.A.P. songwriter.  Jaxx is an expert voice teacher, touted as the “Queen of the Quick Fix” for her amazing ability to diagnose a singer’s problem and prescribe fast remedies—often improving singing immediately! She plays eleven different characters in “The Reveal It & Heal It Club”, the well-reviewed one-woman-show she wrote with her husband, Frederick Friedel.

She has recently released a DVD called” Learn to Sing Better Fast with Jill Jaxx”, which is available now at www.learntosingbetterfast.com  and contains over 50 of her Quick Fixes to improve your singing voice.

She is the co-producer (with her husband writer/director Frederick Friedel) of the film” My Next Funeral”, a hilarious indie film still making its way around Hollywood. The miniscule budget did not stop the team of Jaxx and Friedel from having over 150 actors and 50 locations, creating a film that is “as funny as it is ambitious, and as touching as it is amazing”.   Frederick Friedel is currently in pre-production for his new film, “A Dog’s Life”, in which Suarez will be appearing, singing “Every Place is Paris”, an original song from his new album “The Impossible Dream”.
