There is something quietly magnetic about Sushee's music. It doesn't demand attention through excess; instead, it invites listeners into carefully constructed worlds where vulnerability meets rhythm and emotion finds its place on the dancefloor. As a singer, songwriter, and producer, the Dublin-based artist has cultivated a sound that slips effortlessly between R&B, electronic music, hip-hop, house, and amapiano, creating songs that feel equally suited to solitary midnight reflection and packed club spaces. It's this balance of intimacy and movement that has quickly positioned her as one of Ireland's most compelling emerging voices.
Her latest single, DECEIVE ME, marks another confident step forward. Driven by hypnotic house grooves, deep percussive textures, amapiano-inspired rhythms, and layered vocals that drift between haunting and euphoric, the track captures the emotional ambiguity its title suggests. Rather than chasing fleeting trends, Sushee refines the sonic language she has been steadily building—one where rich vocal melodies coexist with immersive production, allowing every beat to carry emotional weight. The result is a record that lingers long after the final note fades.
That confidence has translated seamlessly to the stage. Following memorable appearances at Electric Picnic's Trenchtown Stage, Whelan's, and The Button Factory, Sushee has entered 2026 with acclaimed headline performances at The Racket Space and The Big Romance. Live, her music evolves into something even more immersive, blurring the boundaries between live performance and DJ culture while maintaining the warmth and sincerity that define her songwriting. Every set feels less like a concert and more like an invitation into her sonic universe.
Industry recognition has followed naturally. Recent singles HANGMAN and QUESTIONS earned praise from Irish tastemakers including Hot Press, District Magazine, Nialler9, Starfish, and Genuine Irish, while airplay on Dublin City FM and RTÉ 2FM has introduced her work to wider audiences. Beyond Ireland, early material from her forthcoming Afro-electronic project has already found champions among London DJs and on Reprezent Radio, signalling an artist whose appeal extends well beyond geographical borders.
Collaboration has also become an important thread throughout Sushee's creative evolution. Working alongside artists such as Selu, Jeorge II, and Deleon has allowed her to explore new textures while remaining unmistakably herself. Across every release, her production remains deeply personal—lush, atmospheric, and emotionally nuanced—proving that technical precision and vulnerability can exist comfortably within the same musical space.
With an experimental Afro-electronic EP arriving later this year, Sushee is entering a defining chapter of her artistic journey. DECEIVE ME serves as both a statement of intent and a glimpse into a broader creative vision—one that embraces genre fluidity without sacrificing authenticity. In an era where alternative music increasingly resists categorisation, Sushee isn't interested in fitting neatly into a single lane. She's building her own, one immersive soundscape at a time.
