New Jersey-raised singer Suzi has spent her entire life orbiting music, but the journey to her project Hit The Target is anything but typical. Her story begins in the quiet corners of New Milford, a small town tucked into North Jersey, where a young Suzi discovered the power of her own voice long before she understood what a career in music even meant. A kindergarten music teacher was among the first to see the spark, urging her family to nurture the gift. That early encouragement set her on a path of more than a decade of vocal training—classical, opera, contemporary, pop, whatever would challenge her—sharpening her into an artist capable of bending genres without losing authenticity.
As a Dominican-American growing up around a melting pot of sounds—R&B, hip-hop, Latin music, and mainstream pop—Suzi developed a style that wasn’t meant to fit in but to stand apart. By 2015, she would find her breakout moment with her debut single “Nobody’s Better” featuring New Jersey star Fetty Wap. The record took off globally, amassing massive streams and pushing Suzi into a spotlight many artists chase for years before reaching. Suddenly the girl from a small town had an international audience, and the momentum led to collaborations with major names like Jim Jones and Tory Lanez, placement on playlists worldwide, and recognition as a rising creative force.
What most listeners didn’t know was that Suzi wasn’t only performing—she was building an independent machine powered almost entirely by herself. While many artists rely on teams of engineers, editors, designers, and digital strategists, she became the team. Suzi taught herself audio engineering, vocal production, video editing, graphic design, and full-scale content creation. Instead of waiting for the industry to hand her opportunities, she built her own, becoming a one-woman creative powerhouse who understood every layer of her artistry. That self-sufficiency became her trademark: a refusal to be boxed in, limited, or shaped by someone else’s vision.
Her inspirations were never confined to genre; they spanned artists who embodied presence, versatility, and intention—stars who didn’t just perform but crafted worlds. Suzi saw herself the same way: not a vocalist who makes songs, but a creator who builds experiences. That sense of identity deepened as she embraced her Dominican roots and the cultural pulse that shaped her. She understood the importance of visibility, of representing young Latina creatives who blend cultures and sounds while refusing to dilute either. Her music became a place where stories, heritage, and ambition collided.
All of that life, discipline, and evolution led her to Hit The Target a project that represents both her precision and her willingness to take risks. To her, it isn’t simply a collection of tracks; it’s a statement. The album captures a moment in her growth where she steps beyond the image of a rising singer and fully into the role of a complete artist who writes, creates, directs, and executes her vision without compromise. Hit The Target is filled with the boldness of someone who has lived several artistic lives already, yet still feels like she’s only getting started. It’s vulnerable, confident, sleek, raw, and purposeful—each track showing a different layer of Suzi’s control and emotional range.
Now with hundreds of millions of streams behind her, major collaborations in her catalogue, and a debut project marking her arrival, Suzi stands in a rare position. She is an independent artist with the infrastructure, discipline, and global reach of a major act—one who proved that talent hits differently when matched with work ethic and ownership. Her journey from a New Jersey classroom to a self-made creative force isn’t just a success story; it’s an example of what the next generation of artists can become when they refuse to wait for permission.
