Biography
Before joining Happy End in 1969, Suzuki was in a band called Sky (スカイ) with Tatsuo Hayashi and Ray Ohara (Sadistic Mika Band). When Happy End disbanded in 1972, Suzuki and Haruomi Hosono formed Caramel Mama (キャラメル・ママ) with Hayashi, Masataka Matsutoya and Hiroshi Sato in 1973. They changed their name to Tin Pan Alley (ティン・パン・アレー) a year later.
Suzuki released his first solo album, Band Wagon which was recorded in Los Angeles with musicians from notable acts such as Little Feat, Santana and Sly and the Family Stone, in 1975.
Suzuki, Hosono and Hayashi reformed Tin Pan Alley, dropping the "Alley" from the name, for an album in 2000.
On February 17, 2009, Suzuki was arrested by the Tokyo Wangan Police Station for violating the Cannabis Control Law. He was convicted to six months in prison and three years probation on March 17.
