Suzanne Savage
Singer / Songgwriter / Violinist
Suzanne Savage is a Belfast-born singer, songwriter, violinist, and dynamic live performer whose musical journey spans continents and genres. Beginning classical violin at the age of eight, her teen years saw her balancing formal training with vibrant gigging in Belfast’s diverse band scene, from heavy rock to funk fusion. While studying music at Queen’s University Belfast—where she trained vocally with Irene Sandford—Suzanne continued performing across styles, deepening her engagement with jazz, drum and bass, and contemporary music.
Her career took a significant leap forward with a scholarship to the prestigious FABRICA MUSICA institute in Italy. There, she collaborated with international artists including William Barton, Andrea Molino, and Hugo Smit, and participated in a German TV documentary on her work. This period cemented her unique artistic voice and global musical outlook.
Suzanne later toured internationally as Principal Soprano Soloist with Riverdance and has since performed or recorded with major artists such as Paul Brady (band member since 2011), Eleanor McEvoy, Roseanne Cash, Van Morrison, Jimmy Cobb, Ernie Watts Quartet, and emerging talents like David Lyttle and Matteo Addabbo. A respected session vocalist, she brings a wealth of stylistic influences to her songwriting. Now based between Belfast and Dublin, Suzanne continues to be a vital presence on the Irish and European music scenes.
