Based in Sebastopol, CA, Suzuki Cady brings a dynamic mix of acoustic American and Irish music to audiences in the San Francisco Bay Area. Suzuki sings and plays the fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and bodhrán, and composes and teaches music.

Suzuki plays in a popular “Hardly-Strictly Irish” duo, Jimmy Murphy & Suzuki Cady, and Irish band New Wild Hog.

With an abiding love of traditional Irish music, Suzuki cut her teeth playing at pubs and private sessions throughout the Bay Area and in Ireland. Her fondness for the art form led to pursuits and outlets as far away as Galway, Ennis, Dublin, and Paris.

Suzuki performs throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

Suzuki began her singing career at age seven as a professional Colorado Children’s Chorale member. At age twelve, she was invited to tour mainland China with the Colorado Children’s Chorale Tour Choir.

Suzuki sings and plays a variety of musical styles. Her sense of rhythm has been informed by a lifetime of dance training. She has an extensive background in Flamenco, Afro-Brazilian, West African, Congolese, and Rollerskate Dancing. She is currently studying Irish Sean-nós percussive dance.

Suzuki is also a photographer and marketing design professional.
