Susan Jane "Suzie" McNeil is a Canadian pop rock singer and songwriter. After garnering attention as a contestant on INXS in 2005, McNeil began pursuing a musical career and released her debut album, Broken & Beautiful, on April 10, 2007.[1] Its second single, "Believe" was re-recorded with the National Arts Centre Orchestra in support of Canada's Own the Podium campaign, and served as the official anthem of the Canadian team for the 2010 Winter Olympics.[2] McNeil performed alongside Theory of a Deadman and Andrée Watters at the halftime show during the 96th Grey Cup.[3] Her second studio album, Rock-n-Roller (2008), spawned the successful single "Supergirl", a cover of the Saving Jane song. In 2011, McNeil signed with Canadian label 604 Records and enjoyed mainstream success with the songs "Drama Queen" and "Merry Go Round". They preceded the release of her third studio album, Dear Love, which came out on August 7, 2012.

In 2014, after a two-year hiatus from her solo career, McNeil teamed up with Elisha Hoffman, Rebecca Lynn Howard, and Marti Frederiksen to form the country rock quartet Loving Mary.[4] They have recorded an EP released in 2015, and have reportedly written enough songs for a full-length album to follow shortly thereafter.

The single was also used as a fundraiser for Own the Podium for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.[13] The Olympic inspired video for "Believe" was recorded with the National Arts Centre Orchestra and released on September 17, 2007. The video stars Canadian Olympians Steve Omischl (freestyle skiing - aerials), Joannie Rochette (figure skating), and Clara Hughes (speed skating).[14]

McNeil appeared on Matt Nathanson's album Some Mad Hope singing background vocals on the songs "Sooner Surrender" and "Bulletproof Weeks",[15] and on Clay Aiken's album A Thousand Different Ways as guest vocalist on "I Want to Know What Love Is", a cover of the Foreigner song.[16]

McNeil appeared as the character Oz in the Canadian production of "We Will Rock You" at the Canon Theater in Toronto until August 4, 2007.[17]

2008—2010: Rock-N-Roller and Grey Cup

McNeil was one of the judges on the first four seasons of the children's Canadian reality TV show, The Next Star, on YTV, which premiered on July 18, 2008,[19] and also recorded the theme song for the show, "Let's Go"[20] which she performed on the show's first-season finale at Canada's Wonderland in Toronto on September 28, 2008.[21]

On November 4, 2008, McNeil released her second solo album Rock-n-Roller which featured her latest Top 20 hit "Let's Go".[22] Re-released as a deluxe edition in 2009, Rock n Roller: Reloaded spawned two singles, "Supergirl" and "Help Me Out".[23] She performed during 96th Grey Cup halftime show broadcast live on November 23, 2008 along with Theory Of A Deadman and Andrée Watters.[24]

In February 2012 the album's third single "Tough Love" was released on radio. The single was released on iTunes On May 8.[32] Dear Love, her third studio album was released August 7, 2012.[33] On November 20, 2012, McNeil released a collection of Christmas songs, both covers and originals, on her album This is Christmas.[34] During the promo tour, McNeil officially confirmed "Love Can't Save Us Now" as the official fourth single from the album Dear Love.

2014—present: Fourth solo album and Loving Mary

In 2013, McNeil began working on a duo project with previous songwriting collaborator Marti Frederiksen, which was reportedly intended to follow in the style of American country trio Lady Antebellum.[4] Instead, they teamed up with Grammy-winning country singer Rebecca Lynn Howard and songwriter Elisha Hoffman to form the band Loving Mary, which they envisioned as a sort of modern-day Fleetwood Mac.[4] The group's sound has been described as a combination of Americana, country, and rock n' roll.[4] An EP, Loving Mary - Live, was recorded and released in early 2015,[35] while a full-length album is in the final stages of recording.

In addition to her work with the band, McNeil confirmed{{when|date=January 2019}} through her Twitter account that she is also working on a fourth solo album, which is "already written".[36]
