Bambi Lee Savage (born Shannon Strong in 1963) is an American singer, songwriter and musician who also has worked as an audio engineer, most notably assisting on U2's Achtung Baby.
[1] Her song "Darlin'" was featured on the Sling Blade film soundtrack and her four independently-released albums are Matter of Time (2003), GJ and the PimpKillers (2009) Darkness Overshadowed (2012) and Berlin-Nashville Express (2019).
[3] Inspired by an Einstuerzende Neubauten concert at London’s Kilburn National Ballroom, in 1987 she relocated to Berlin where she began working as an assistant recording engineer at Hansa Tonstudio.
[4][5] She left her audio engineering career to concentrate on songwriting and performing, and in 1992, with Bono acting as the benefactor of her first recording session, Mick Harvey played on and produced a four-song demo of her original material.
[10] Motivated by a growing revulsion to the increasing glamorization of the sex industry and in an effort to address the issue of human trafficking, in 2006 she began work at her home studio on what would become her second album, GJ and the PimpKillers.
