Philadelphia R&B singer Suzanne Sheer’s musical journey started when she was just 14, writing songs about heavy subjects she didn’t yet fully understand. She drew inspiration from powerful female vocalists like Amy Winehouse, Etta James, Adele, and Rihanna as well as progressive acts that fused rock and electronic elements like Radiohead, Daft Punk, and The Cure. By 18 she was recording with Wiz Khalifa and Ricky P in Los Angeles. Now, she is 29 years old, back in Philly, and ready to release her debut album, The Blue Hour.
