From her classical upbringing she turned into work with jazz and improvisation, which showed to be her right element. The thing you first think of together with Susanna Lindeborg is her work with the mix of acoustic and electronic instruments, which has been known most of all through the group Mwendo Dawa, which she is the leader of together with saxophone player Ove Johansson. Mwendo Dawa has been succesfully touring in 19 countries in Europe, North and South America performing at festivals like Montreux, Northsea and Montreal.

Besides Mwendo Dawa Susanna Lindeborg toured a great deal with the female jazz group Salamander during the beginning of the 80s. Salamander aroused a lot of attention on the European continent and in the USA. Susanna came to tour a lot internationally with these two groups. Today you can also hear her in the Lindeborg/Johansson Duo and she also is performing solo doing a improvisational performance together with her computers doing electroacoustical backgrounds. Susanna Lindeborg writes her own music and some of this got profiled when she released her first soloCD 1989.
