“With a voice that cuts through the noise, Pittsburgh native Suzanne Sheer is R&B’s next up, and it’s been a long time coming.”

Suzanne Sheer makes songs that look you in the eye—cinematic, intimate, and a little dangerous.

She’s an alt-R&B singer and songwriter whose music feels like a confession you weren’t meant to hear. Blending soulful vocal power with dream-pop atmosphere and bass-heavy production, she turns heartbreak, desire, and self-restoration into slow-burn anthems that hit like memory and déjà vu at the same time.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh and now rooted in Philadelphia, Sheer grew up surrounded by creativity — with a visual-artist mother, a musician father, and a grandmother who was an opera singer. It shows. Her voice carries that lineage: theatrical yet intimate, soft yet commanding. It can whisper a secret or level a room.

Sheer began writing songs as a teenager, and by 18 she was already recording in Los Angeles with Wiz Khalifa (“Without You” — Taylor Gang / TGOD Vol. 1), an early milestone that hinted at the voice she was becoming. Years later she made her formal arrival with her debut album The Blue Hour, introducing a world built around emotional honesty and richly textured production. Momentum followed instinctively: “Feel Nothing” became one of On The Radar’s strongest engagement wins, “Two Graves” premiered on MTV’s Spankin’ New, and her catalog has now surpassed 1M streams — all before her breakout moment.

Her music also resonates beyond the streaming world. Comcast, Pepsi, and Milk Makeup have featured her songs in national campaigns, and in 2023 both the Philadelphia Eagles and 76ers amplified their playoff runs with her music, a hometown nod for an artist Philly quietly, but fiercely, claims as their own.

Now Suzanne Sheer enters her most defining era yet. Her upcoming project VOICES (produced by 3xpo & Lotits) is her most powerful and fully realized body of work to date — a cinematic, genre-defying collection that blends alt-R&B with rock edges, pop instincts, and production that feels equal parts dirty and expansive, like a movie soundtrack nobody told you you needed. It is her first project since The Blue Hour in 2022, and it sounds like nothing she has released before.

"I want my listeners to feel like someone is finally verbalizing something they feel but never could get out themselves," says Sheer.
