Susanna Aleksandra is a multilingual jazz singer, songwriter, and creative entrepreneur whose work combines high-level musicianship with a natural sense of connection. She creates performances that resonate with both dedicated jazz listeners and audiences new to the genre.
 

A charismatic and intuitive performer, she brings clarity, warmth, and presence to the stage. Her voice moves effortlessly from intimate, nuanced phrasing to powerful, expressive climaxes, always grounded in storytelling. Whether in an intimate setting or on a festival stage, she creates a sense of connection that feels direct, natural, and unforced.
 

Deeply connected to European musical traditions, Susanna also draws from the American jazz tradition—her first love, shaped by growing up in a musical family of jazz and classical musicians. Her first performances took place in major concert halls in Estonia at the age of 13. She later developed this foundation through formal training in improvisation, phrasing, and vocal expression, which continues to inform her musical language.
 

Her background in languages informs her sensitivity to text and storytelling and allows her to connect directly with diverse audiences and collaborators. She works naturally across cultures and is especially at home in international contexts, from festivals to cross-border projects.
 

Her second album, Souls of the Night (released internationally as The Siren), recorded with leading Northern European jazz musicians including pianist Joonas Haavisto, received international acclaim. It was nominated for Jazz Album of the Year at the Estonian Music Awards and selected as one of the best albums of 2021 by Jazzwise magazine, as well as by Jazz Critique in Japan. The album was widely praised for Susanna’s vocal performance, the band’s musicianship, and the strength of its compositions.
 

Susanna has performed at festivals and venues including EFG London Jazz Festival, Brno Music Marathon, Jazzkaar, Ancona Jazz Festival, Jazz & Image Festival, GMF Tuscany Jazz, European Jazz Network events, Musicas Creativas (Gran Canaria), Auditorio de Tenerife, Kunstfabrik Schlot (Berlin), and Jazzycolors (Paris), among others. She performs regularly in Estonia and Finland, with additional appearances across Europe.
 

Alongside her artistic career, Susanna is the founder of Créa, a creative agency offering interactive workshops for companies and teams. Through music, performance, and creative exercises, these sessions bring people out of habitual patterns and into more active listening, collaboration, and engagement.
 

Susanna holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Jazz Performance from the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, where she studied with Professor Jukkis Uotila and Dr. Aija Puurtinen. She was also awarded a scholarship to the USC Thornton School of Music, where she studied with Sara Gazarek, Bob Mintzer, and MzLyndia Johnson.
 

Alongside her performance work, she is an active educator, working with singers through private coaching, workshops, and masterclasses across Europe. Her teaching is known for its clarity, musical depth, and ability to help artists develop an authentic voice.
