about
For Gracyn, music isn’t just her craft—it’s her fight to stay alive. A powerhouse vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, writer, and producer, she's not just the voice, but an architect of her own sound.
Her latest release california isn’t just a debut single with a new team in a new city; it’s the sound of reinvention and starting over. Born out of her 3,000+ mile solo move, it marks the start of an EP that dives headfirst into resilience and the search for self.
Gracyn knows darkness intimately: the sharp edges of trauma, scars left by silent ghosts, and a desperate swim against a rising tide. Her music grapples openly with growing pains and vulnerability, offering a rare kind of honesty that both challenges and comforts. Her songs are a lifeline for herself and for others struggling to find who they are. Her 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 left the polished halls of classical music on the East Coast behind. In just a few months, she’s made a name for herself in Los Angeles’s underground music scene with a unique sound: lush, intricate vocal arrangements wrapped in alt-tinged pop production. On stage, she brings a rare technical fire and emotional depth, weaving layered arrangements into performances that are both intimate and cathartic.

Known for her exceptional sight-singing abilities, Gracyn (mezzo-soprano) has built a reputation for mastering challenging repertoire with precision and ease. Her voice is recognized for its warmth, power, and range, allowing her to move fluidly between multiple genres, and between soprano and alto. Gracyn's vocal artistry is rooted in classical training—earning a BFA in Vocal Performance from Carnegie Mellon University—but shaped by a lifelong curiosity across genres.
Gracyn's love for choral music began early, sparked by the ACDA National Treble Choir. Gracyn's first professional role in a choir was with the Bach Choir of Pittsburgh under the direction of Thomas Douglas. Since moving to Los Angeles, Gracyn has taken the choral scene by storm, singing as both a soprano and alto with many professional ensembles such as the Los Angeles Master Chorale, Tonality, Choral Arts Initiative, Voices of Terpsichor, and more.
Gracyn’s operatic experience ranges from leading the academic premiere of Kamala Sankaram’s techno-noir opera at Carnegie Mellon University to embodying the classic Prince Orlofsky in Die Fledermaus at the College Light Opera Company. She is particularly passionate about shining light on overlooked composers and premiering new works. Gracyn earned two consecutive Encouragement Awards from the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition while still in her undergraduate studies.
