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.
Recognized for his impactful artistic contributions to the nation's capital, Bryce Bowyn has received the 2024 Arts and Humanities Fellowship grant and the Projects, Events, and Festivals grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. These grants support the upcoming release of a new EP by the end of 2024, marking an exciting phase in his musical evolution.
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 Washington Blade, CultureFix, and Songwriting Magazine, while also receiving official playlist support from Spotify via Discover Weekly. Bowyn's impact extends far beyond the boundaries of conventional pop, solidifying his presence as a dynamic force in both the music and diverse creative spheres.
