Suzzie Monroe the Queen of Color
There is no doubt that being exceptional is a trait that many people aspire to. There is no denying the fact that in this day and age of fashion, digital media and constant content being pushed into the eyes of the world, looking your best is very important. Whether it is in the business community, where people push forward that extra percentage when it comes to their wardrobe, attire, and hair, that extra percentage can be the difference between setting trends or being the target of a joke. You could say, Suzzie Monroe is a specialist when it comes to the hair department. Her clients, whether Hollywood celebrities or high-end clients traveling to a key business meeting, will look their best with the Queen of Color.
A globally recognized colorist and the founder of Luxbae, Suzzie is not only an empowered woman herself, but is also making sure that all other women gain the confidence they need to thrive in today’s world as well. As a first-generation immigrant from Armenia, Suzzie was born in an Armenian family. She was raised with much love and admiration and was encouraged to always strive for what she wanted. Having worked with people to improve their appearance and style from an early age, Suzzie found that she enjoyed the process. Since then, she has built an empire based on her eye for style.
A lifelong dream of Suzzie’s is Luxbae, a beauty salon. Having two main locations today – Glendale and West Hollywood – Luxbae has become a favorite place for ladies to get gorgeous hair makeovers and relax. Suzzie knows that she plays an important role in this world as a colorist and beautician. In the fashion and beauty world, her success has contributed to a stronger female standing. Aside from that, she ensures that strong women who are about to conquer the world receive the proper care and a ‘look’ as they wear their crowns of success.
Even as a little girl, she was all about beauty and fashion. As she grew up, it turned into an obsession. And as successful people say, ‘obsession is the key to success.’ While the girls her age spent time studying and learning life skills, she spent time understanding the trends in the fashion and beauty industry. She knew this was what she wanted. To pursue her dream and turn her obsession into a career, she moved to the United States to pursue her goals.
Suzzie joined Vidal Sassoon Academy to gain the necessary skills for success in the fashion industry. She discovered a hidden talent while studying at the academy. The ability to create shades with her eyes was one of Suzzie’s strongest traits. Her talent was channeled into the hair color market after she refined her skills. Suzzie proved herself to be an unbeatable entity, and her work was praised, praised, and recognized. As a result of her hard work, expertise, and excellence, she became a member of prized hair styling teams at New York Fashion Week. Having made her mark in the fashion and film industries, Suzzie became one of the nation’s most sought-after colorists. Since her custom color and toner formulas are not available in a catalog, her work has gained such fame. Beautiful and unique, they are a sight to behold.
Women are capable of helping each other be their best selves, and Suzzie is a person who believes this wholeheartedly. Suzzie Monroe sets an example of what a ‘modern woman’ should be while providing a place where women can express themselves. As a woman, Suzzie Monroe makes it easier for her clients to improve their standing in the world, while looking camera-ready and inspiring them to take charge of their dreams, while rocking the best color in the business that is sure to turn heads.

Platinum Audio Engineer & Award-Winning Writer Mark “Savage” on Entering Management and Tackling Patriarchy
For years, Mark “Savage” Sanders bold, dynamic mixing style has landed him work behind the boards of major tours and hit records alike. Working with artists like Shordie Shordie, Lizzo, Coi Leray, Kevin Gates, Fetty Wap, Kelly Rowland and more, Mark sports an ever-expanding discography of cutting edge of popular music. We spoke with Mark to get insights into his career arc, workflow, and to understand how his unique sound is built upon a firm foundation of technical skill, knowledge and deep listening.
For starters, could you tell me how you got into engineering?
So at my high school they had an early college program where you could get your associates or a certificate by graduation. I wasn’t looking to be an audio engineer. I don’t even think I really knew what an audio engineer was, which makes it all the more crazy. I saw music production schools, but I went for audio engineering at Full Sail University.
What boards were you working on when you were doing live sound?
It was whatever the house had. Working on Mackie boards or Yamaha boards that only had seven inputs that worked—Avid and Midas consoles, the M32s, the Behringer X32, a lot of different stuff. Being a live sound engineer taught me so much signal flow and having to adapt to different spaces and different gear all the time. If I’m on tour and we’re generally using the same board, we’re probably never using the same monitors for front-of-house. The rooms are bigger or smaller—different places have different problem areas—being in a stadium or doing a festival where you have delays and all that stuff is just insane.
So you were ghostwriting, engineering, producing, and rapping in the beginning?
Yes I did it all except play an instrument.
Now today you’ve received a BMI Award, 2x Platinum, and over 12,000 sync placements how does it feel?
If I had to be honest I don’t care about any of it anymore. I want to see my Son win big like this. I’m more into family these days. I did everything I wanted in life and overachieved. I’m good!
We see you have Royalty ENTERTAINMENT & managing as far as entertainment goes what else can we expect?
Whatever God does. I’m not chasing anything anymore. Focused on living life, family, and wealth/health. Definitely support my DJ, DJ King, Ashley Blaire, and Pretty Liyah. Other than that I’m about to be out the way. (He laughs) I’m so burnt out. I’m chilling.
Last question, seeing that you did everything you wanted is there anything left that you haven’t 2025 going forward?
No just travel more that’s it. Like when I say I’ve given life everything I’ve had. I’ve given it everything. Plus I think most people are waiting for me to be famous or something which I’m avoiding and praying never happens.
