Suzanne Phillips began her career in New York City in the early 2000’s and now produces events throughout the United States. Her early focus was exclusively on the music and fashion industries; creating record release parties for Atlantic Records, magazine parties for JANE, Nylon, Hamptons Magazine, G.Q. and Details as well as numerous designer fashion events for both legacy brands and newer “of the moment” labels.

Upon arriving on the West Coast, Phillips secured a long-term residency at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and continued producing fashion and music parties throughout Los Angeles and Vegas. From 2005 through 2012, Phillips’ events featured rock & roll legends Steven Tyler and Alice Cooper along with events for noteworthy actors such as Benjamin Bratt and Zoe Saldana. Phillips went on to create a national model search featuring Wilhelmina and Elite model agencies; a program offering young women the chance to win a 2-year model contract with a prestigious New York agency. Following her tenure at Hard Rock, Phillips continued producing events at numerous luxury resorts in Las Vegas including The Palms, Bellagio, and Paris Hotel, establishing herself as a Las Vegas leading nightlife professional with the success of her fashion gifting suites. In 2018 and 2019, Suzanne’s gifting suites were featured monthly at Hyde Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Prior to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Phillips had expanded her work so that she could serve numerous Los Angeles nonprofit organizations. Operating within the nonprofits’ development departments, Phillips created unique fundraising events, won sponsorships from both corporate organizations and family foundations, and developed and implemented social media marketing programs. For the past ten years, she has built a thriving internship program, comprised of college students who build their own marketing and event skills while helping their community. Along with her interns, Phillips has worked to raise money for senior citizens, underserved children and people experiencing homelessness for nearly ten years.

In 2021, Phillips will be leading the effort to launch a National DJ Championship in addition to continuing her philanthropic work. Suzanne Phillips currently resides in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
