It doesn't take much to notice the smooth velvet voice singing during the epic adventures in the popular video game known as, Final Fantasy. That voice belongs to singer/songwriter Susan Calloway. Years ago, Susan's voice caught the attention of Grammy Award winning conductor Arnie Roth and Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uemtasu. The two were convinced Calloway's graceful yet powerful voice would be a perfect complement to the magical story of Final Fantasy Distant Worlds. Not only did Susan sing "Memoro De La Stona" on the first album, Distant Worlds: Music From Final Fantasy, but was asked again shortly afterwards to lend her voice for two other songs on the second album of compilations, Distant Worlds II: Music From Final Fantasy, on the songs "Melodies of Life" and "Suteki Da Ne."
