About Bryce Bowyn
Based in Washington, DC, Bryce Bowyn juxtaposes familiar, late 2000s pop soundscapes with self-aware, cutting lyricism.

Bowyn goes beyond the musical realm, presenting bouncy, irresistible melodies alongside unexpectedly dark and esoteric music videos. From the demonic bloodbath of “Nostalgic” to the unnerving thrills of “Ruthless,” Bowyn’s work exhibits a complex and expansive spectrum of vision and unfiltered dynamism.Bowyn received DC Arts and Humanities Fellowship grants in 2024 and 2025.
