Isabel Suckling (born 24 March 1998) is a British singer who was the youngest classical recording artist signed by Decca Records,[1][2] and the first choirgirl to sign a record contract with a major music label.[3][4][5] Suckling sang in the choir at York Minster at the time, and was discovered by Decca following a nationwide search.[6][7] She was mentored by the singer, TV/radio presenter and former boy soprano Aled Jones.[8][6][3][4]
Her debut album was titled The Choirgirl, and was released on 29 November 2010 ahead of Christmas sales anticipated by record executives to be lucrative.[9][10][11] The album's first single was a cover of Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone", with proceeds going to the charity Age UK.[8][9][7] Also featured was a choral recording of "Imagine" to commemorate the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's death, and a duet with Aled Jones' original 1986 vocal track on "All Through The Night", previously never released.[10] The album was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2011 Classic BRIT Awards.[12][13][14]
In 2012, Suckling collaborated with Robin Gibb and his son, performing the track "Christmas Day" on the Gibbs' debut classical album, The Titanic Requiem.[15][16] She took part at the premiere of the album on 10 April 2012, and her vocals for the project received positive reviews.[17][18]
In 2014, Suckling sang on the soundtrack for the feature film Terroir starring Keith Carradine.[19]
Isabel Suckling is the daughter of American wine critic James Suckling.[5][10][20]
