about
for gracyn blu, music isn’t just their craft—it’s their fight to stay alive. gracyn knows darkness intimately—the sharp edges of trauma, scars left by silent ghosts, and a desperate swim against a rising tide. their music grapples openly with identity, vulnerability, and lingering wounds, offering a rare kind of honesty that both challenges and comforts. gracyn’s songs are a lifeline for themselves and for others struggling to find who they are. their mission is clear: break the silence around mental illness, create space for radical honesty, and be a light for the lost.
determined to turn survival into something beautiful, gracyn blu left the polished halls of classical music on the east coast behind. in just a few months, they’ve made a name for themself in los angeles’s underground music scene with a unique sound: lush, intricate vocal arrangements wrapped in alt-tinged pop production. as a powerhouse vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, gracyn brings a rare technical fire to the stage, layering expressive arrangements into emotionally-charged performances that leave audiences captivated. they are currently working on their debut project, with their first los-angeles-produced single set to release this summer.

IT'S ALL INDIE

early life
gracyn blu got their start in classical music, studying piano and violin. they taught themself guitar and ukulele, and started writing their own music as a teenager while acting in local theatre productions. they completed a bachelor of fine arts at carnegie mellon University in vocal performance, with minors in music technology, drama, and music education. they also earned a k-12 music education teaching certificate.
gracyn began creating the moment they touched a piano at 5 years old. Since then, they’ve been on a journey to satisfy their perpetual need to make art. a genre-and-gender bender, Gracyn doesn’t fit in one box. While continuing their piano studies for over a decade, they taught themself a myriad of other instruments, from violin to electric guitar. They study a variety of musical genres, even becoming an award-winning opera singer at 21 years old. while gracyn has been writing their own music since childhood, it wasn’t until earning a bachelor’s degree in classical performance that they realized their need to seriously pursue it: “production and songwriting fulfill creative needs unlike any forms of music performance i’ve done. i'm finally not recreating and interpreting someone else’s work. production and songwriting is completely mine from the moment of a song’s inception to the moment of its completion.”

in the realm of opera, gracyn has performed in a wide variety of productions, from leading the academic premiere of a techno-noir opera by kamala sankaram at carnegie mellon university, to the classic prince orlofsky in die fledermaus at the college light opera company. They have performed as a vocalist in various professional choirs, such as the bach choir of pittsburgh, and opera companies, such as Pittsburgh festival opera and the college light opera company. they love roles that are ambiguous in physicality and gender. some other highlights of their operatic experience include two consecutive encouragement Awards granted by the metropolitan opera laffont competition, and the production of a chamber recital with all marginalized composers/librettists. they are particularly passionate about shining light on “lost” composers and premiering new works, though they also enjoy putting their own twist on a classic production.

gracyn is a highly gifted sight reader and loves challenging choral work. gracyn started singing in choirs as a teenager and quickly found themself gigging around churches. while an undergraduate voice student, gracyn took on their first professional alto section leader position in the bach choir of pittsburgh. gracyn has continued their work as a "powerhouse sight reader" from the east coast to the west coast.
in theatre, gracyn has performed in a wide variety of productions, from shakespeare to cole Porter. They have studied chekhov, stanislavsky, and meisner methods, and typically find their own characters at the intersection of these philosophies. gracyn took a few years of dance classes and really honed their ability to pick up choreography while performing with the college light opera company. gracyn's most recent skill acquisition is stage combat.

now based in los angeles, gracyn is looking forward to diving into the world of opera in southern california.
