“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’s anthemic electropop tracks have captivated audiences throughout the nation’s capital and beyond. After releasing a few singles under the mononym “Bryce,” he decided that 2020 called for a refresh, rebrand and reintroduction with a name change and a collection of addictive pop bops leading up to his debut EP A Rosy Retrospect.
With songs like “Just Love Me,” a smash inspired by the beauty of queer nightlife entertainers, and “Bye Bye,” a four-on-the-floor soundtrack to farewells, Bowyn juxtaposes familiar, late 2000s pop soundscapes with self-aware, cutting lyricism.
An innovative audiovisual artist and horror buff, Bowyn contrasts his bouncy, irresistible melodies with unexpectedly dark and esoteric music videos. The demonic bloodbath of “Nostalgic” and unnerving thrills of “Ruthless” turn up the heat, showcasing the complex and expansive spectrum of Bowyn’s vision and unfiltered dynamism.
Inspired equally by legendary pop mainstays Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, and fringe 80s synthpop (Erasure, Marc Almond, and Giorgio Moroder) Bowyn's live presentations combine infectious, synth-driven tunes with tight choreography and dazzling theatrics. He’s performed across the nation including at Pittsburgh’s 2019 PrideFest, and headlined hometown events like BRYCE: Hydrogen Blonde (Capital Fringe).
Bryce Bowyn is an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and mental health, and has garnered high praise from outlets such as The Art of Being Queer, the Q Review, and Culture Fix, along with official playlist support from Spotify via Discover Weekly. As “God’s favorite pop child,” expect even more sonic and visual blessings from Bowyn in the coming year.
