About Susan Boyle

Susan Magdalane Boyle is a Scottish vocalist who was born on April 1, 1961. She rose to prominence in 2009 after singing “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables on the third series of Britain’s Got Talent.

I Dreamed a Dream, Boyle’s debut studio album, was released in November 2009, and it went on to become the UK’s best-selling debut album of all time, surpassing Leona Lewis’ Spirit, and setting a record for first-week sales by a debut album, according to the Official Charts Company.

Boyle made £5 million (£6.9 million today) in her first year of stardom with the publication of I Dreamed a Dream and its lead singles, “I Dreamed a Dream” and “Wild Horses.”

Boyle’s success continued with her second studio album, The Gift (2010), which saw her become only the third act in history to top both the UK and US album charts twice in the same year, and was followed by her third studio album, Someone to Watch Over Me, which debuted at number one in both countries (2011). Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs from the Stage (2012), Home for Christmas (2013), Hope (2014), A Wonderful World (2016), and Ten were her subsequent studio albums (2019).

Boyle studied singing with Fred O’Neil, a vocal instructor. She went to Edinburgh Acting School and performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She also sung at the Marian basilica at the Knock Shrine in County Mayo, Ireland, as part of her parish church’s pilgrimages.

Boyle continues to live in the family home, a four-bedroom ex-council property in Blackburn that she bought with her own money in 2010.

Her father died in the 1990s, and she had eight siblings. Boyle never married and devoted her life to care for her ailing mother, who died in 2007 at the age of 91.

When Bridget Boyle died, her daughter “wouldn’t come out for three or four days or answer the door or phone,” according to a neighbor. Boyle is a devout Roman Catholic who used to sing in her church choir in Blackburn.

Boyle continues to help out at her church as a volunteer, visiting elderly members of the congregation in their homes.

These songs were eventually published to the internet after her “Britain’s Got Talent” audition.
