Based in Washington, D.C, Bryce Bowyn’s anthemic electropop tracks have resonated with audiences across the nation's capital and beyond. With songs like "A Bridge Burned Down" and "Town,” Bowyn showcase his ability to juxtapose familiar late 2000s pop soundscapes with self-aware, cutting lyricism.
As an innovative audiovisual artist and horror buff, 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.
Honored for his contributions to the arts in DC, Bryce Bowyn received the Arts and Humanities Fellowship grants in both 2024 and 2025. These grants support the creation of brand-new material, including his latest EP, Siege, which debuted in November 2024 to critical acclaim.
Inspired by a diverse range of influences, from legendary pop mainstays like Madonna and Charli XCX to 80s synthpop icons such as Pet Shop Boys and Giorgio Moroder, Bowyn's creations are a sensory delight. Combining infectious, synth-driven tunes with tight choreography and high-energy theatrics, he has graced stages across the nation, including performances at DC's Capital Pride and sharing the stage with acclaimed pop acts like GIRLI.
Bowyn is also the co-creator of Nocturne Hall's original audio drama "Dupont Investigations," a visionary podcast crafted under the leadership of Marc Benjamin Langston. Directed and sound designed by Bowyn, the podcast's inaugural season, "The Scourge from Carthage," offers a captivating blend of queer, supernatural noir set against the mysterious and atmospheric backdrop of 1930s Washington, DC.
Beyond his artistic pursuits, Bryce Bowyn is a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and mental health. His work has earned acclaim from outlets such as GLAAD, Atwood Magazine, Queerty, Ladygunn, and the Washington Blade, while also receiving official playlist support from Spotify via Discover Weekly.
