Ian Cussick is a singer/song-writer, born in Dundee, Scotland on 17 June 1954.

After attending primary school, and later high school — which he left at the age of fifteen — Cussick went on to form several local bands with moderate success.

In 1973, he answered an advertisement in Melody Maker for a "singer wanted" and flew to Germany to work with a popular Showband. Two years later, he landed a massive hit with the early disco song: "Shame Shame Shame" — being part of Linda and the Funky Boys — which sold some five million singles at that time.

Ian Cussick went on to record ten solo albums over a period of twenty years, landing a multi-million seller with his composition: "Meet me By The Water". He also worked extensively on countless other productions, including: "RAM Pietsch - Norwegian Wood" which featured the Munich Symphonic Orchestra, and the vocalists Dan McCafferty, Mary Hopkins, Maggie Reilly, and Ian Cussick. This sold some two hundred thousand copies in Germany alone.

At present, Ian Cussick is concentrating on song writing, and starting a publishing company in the United States of America.
