Early Life
Suttie was born in Hull and raised in Matlock, Derbyshire. From an early age she expressed a desire to act and write. She began playing the guitar and writing songs at the age of twelve after she was refused saxophone lessons. She went on to perform in many amateur dramatic groups and in school plays, and was in bands from the age of thirteen. She attended Highfields School in Matlock where her fellow pupils included Dave Johnson from electronic duo Grandadbob, Tom Marriott and Matt Chandler, guitarist and trombonist respectively, from funk band Pest, and Ben Ottewell, singer-songwriter from the Mercury Prize-winning indie-rock band Gomez.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light, and two much in love to say goodnight.”
—Frank Loesser (1910–1969)
“No humane being, past the thoughtless age of boyhood, will wantonly murder any creature which holds its life by the same tenure that he does. The hare in its extremity cries like a child. I warn you, mothers, that my sympathies do not always make the usual philanthropic distinctions.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
