Pittsburgh-based neo-soul artist with funk and pop-rock edges, Megan Paullet delivers groove-forward music with strong vocals and band chemistry
ABOUT
Award-winning Pittsburgh artist Megan Paullet blends neo-soul, funk, and pop-rock into groove-forward songs built for both the stage and the airwaves. Backed by her band, The HR Department, her music pairs bold hooks with live-band chemistry, soulful vocals, and moments that feel electric and intimate all at once.
Entering a focused release cycle in 2026, Megan recently released a new single and is preparing to follow it with an EP later this year. This current era highlights her most confident sound to date—funk-leaning rhythms, modern soul textures, and pop-rock accessibility—designed to translate equally well in live rooms and radio rotation.
Known for high-energy performances and strong audience connection, Megan has spent over a decade performing across Western Pennsylvania in both full-band and solo settings. Her work continues to resonate with listeners drawn to groove, authenticity, and artists who bring real presence to the music.
