Suzannah Elizabeth Powell (born August 16, 1988) is an American singer, songwriter, producer, rapper, and performance artist, best known by her stage name Boyfriend.

[6] Described as a "mile-a-minute rhyme-spitter; a bawdy, brassy performance artist and a feminist provocateur," her rhymes address subjects including sex, feminism, gender and empowerment with 'bracingly blue, carefully crafted, comic turns of phrase."

[11] In January 2015, Boyfriend told an interviewer that there was "definitely repression being cast off—I certainly hope that there's someone out there who hears my music and feels less ashamed, less scared, and less dirty as a result.

Categorizing her performances as "rap cabaret," she appeared as Boyfriend for the first time opening for bounce artist Vockah Redu at a New Orleans club.

Gambit wrote that Boyfriend has a "stage show that is as much cone-bra, arena-sized Madonna as it is an intimate, hilariously profane psychosexual bedroom drama.

[15] In spring of 2017, Boyfriend released Next, an EP produced in Laurel Canyon with the help of Pablo Dylan and New Orleans musicians Khris Royal, Joe Shirley, and Alvin Ford Jr.

[19] In December 2017, Boyfriend headlined a party in Tokyo, Japan, for Marc Jacobs at the notorious Ai Honten host club in Kabukicho's Red Light District.

She tells Playbill that "Wash That" is "in perfect alignment with my ongoing thesis statement about the burden of beautification and the processes we undergo as women to be deemed 'presentable,'" she explains.

In 2018, she produced the third annual show where audience members experienced a sold-out experience that featured the dynamic burlesque/drag duo of Kitten & Lou, rearranged Boyfriend ragtime mixes by composer Joe Shirley and trombone stylings by Preservation Hall's David L.

[22][23] In April 2016, a Boyfriend performance at Proud Larry's in Oxford, Mississippi, was cancelled "due to statewide pressures and the current political climate".
