Based in Washington, D.C., Bryce Bowyn crafts anthemic electropop that juxtaposes late 2000s pop architecture with self-aware, cutting lyricism. A three-time recipient of the D.C. Arts and Humanities Fellowship (2024–2026), Bowyn has built a devoted following across the capital and beyond, earning praise from GLAAD, Atwood Magazine, Queerty, and Ladygunn, and sharing stages with GIRLI, Dixon Dallas, and Vendredi Sur Mer.
LONG BIO
“Washington based rising talent Bryce Bowyn is quickly becoming a musical force to be reckoned with” - Culture Fix
Based in Washington, D.C., Bryce Bowyn makes anthemic electropop that feels simultaneously nostalgic and urgently modern. Drawing on the DNA of Madonna, Depeche Mode, and a thread of Nine Inch Nails-style tension, with echoes of Troye Sivan in his queer pop sensibility — Bowyn builds songs that are infectious on the surface and emotionally precise underneath. Tracks like "Saint Sebastian," "Wicked Wings," and "Adonis" showcase his ability to wrap cutting, self-aware lyricism inside synth-driven hooks that refuse to let go.
Honored three consecutive years for his contributions to the arts in D.C., Bowyn received the Arts and Humanities Fellowship grant in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — each cycle supporting the creation of new material, including his EP Siege, which debuted in November 2024 to critical acclaim.
A dynamic live presence, Bowyn has performed at D.C.'s Capital Pride and earned support slots alongside Dixon Dallas, GIRLI, and Vendredi Sur Mer, a range that reflects both his crossover appeal and his ability to hold a room across genres and audiences. His work has earned recognition from GLAAD, Atwood Magazine, Queerty, Ladygunn, Songwriting Magazine, and the Washington Blade, and has received official Spotify playlist support via Discover Weekly.
Beyond music, Bowyn is a committed advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and mental health, values that run through his songwriting as much as his public presence. With each release, he continues to expand what electropop can hold: bold, unfiltered, and completely his own.
