Hailing from Orlando, Florida, Susan LaNell is a vocalist whose journey is as powerful as her voice. A proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, she spent years climbing the corporate ladder and supporting a military family before boldly reigniting her lifelong passion for music at age 50.

Since stepping back into the spotlight in 2017, Susan LaNell has become a standout independent artist in the Metro Atlanta area. Blending R&B, jazz, quiet storm, gospel, and soul, she has graced the stages of St. James Live, Café 290, Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint, Firefly Café, and The Pink Lion Jazz Club at the New Black Wall Street. Her talent has also placed her alongside celebrated musicians such as violinist Ken Ford and acclaimed jazz saxophonist Kim Waters.

Her mantra—“It’s Never Too Late”—is more than a message; it’s the title of her debut single and first headlining show. Whether serenading with a heartfelt ballad or inviting audiences to a nostalgic groove on the dance floor, Susan LaNell brings warmth, elegance, and undeniable presence to every performance.
