Susie McCollum is a singer-songwriter who proudly walks a soulful, indie-folk line. One listen to any of her songs and you’ll hear the confessional power of Joni Mitchell, the lyrical prowess of Janis Ian, and the coy, jazzy-toned spirit of Norah Jones.

New York City-born & Chicago-based, McCollum’s musical journey spans opera, theater, jazz, R&B, & folk - providing an eclectic background that informs her textured, authentic sound. Her mesmerizing and poetic lyricism is fueled by compassion, wit, and an insatiable curiosity about the human experience.

Susie arrived on the scene with the celebrated single “New Year’s Eve” in 2022, praised by A&R Factory as a “part-love song, part-indie-soulful ode to bittersweet tradition.”

Her 2024 debut EP Tempt My Fate captivated audiences as “stirring and uniquely powerful” (CLOUT Magazine) for its soulful vocal and poignant songwriting.

So far, 2026 has brought SOLD OUT shows at the Mercury Lounge (NYC) & Epiphany Center for the Arts (Chicago), as well as her first scoring experience for the short film “zoomies” (71K views on Youtube).

In addition to her production credits, which extend into the theater, Susie has also honed her skills as an audio engineer - enabling her to truly inhabit every layer of the creative process. Her latest single “Abigail” is her best work yet.
