Wryn is a musician, writer, and video artist based on the central coast of California. Their work investigates transmutation, reflection, gender, parenthood, and absorption of the self.
Wryn’s music has been described as “Introspective.. lyrically sincere yet sophisticated”, “ tough yet heartfelt, and loaded with potential”. The depth of their live performances and recorded work has lead them to be compared to heavy emotional hitters such as Adrianne Lenker, PJ Harvey, Phil Elverum, Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olson.
After years of bedroom recordings Wryn is currently working on their debut Album ‘Shapes’ with producer Bella Blasko.

Wryn’s opening solo set showed a performer in the midst of a creative surge. Song after song poured out, evidence that recent studio time has been abundantly fertile. Summoning thoughts of Dry-era PJ Harvey, the sound was tough yet heartfelt, and loaded with potential. It will be interesting to see how these recent compositions evolve into more complete arrangements. In the meantime, Wryn demonstrated ample ability to hold the stage with just guitar and voice.

Pairs well with: Crying at the end of a great book; reading old diary entries
California songwriter Wryn says they wrote their 2021 entry song after a panic attack "and what felt like a very long winter," in a period of trying to untangle the patterns in which they felt trapped.

Their music explores some of the same territory as such recent underground sensations as Adrianne Lenker (Big Thief) and Phil Elverum (The Microphones). Introspective, acoustic guitar driven, and lyrically sincere yet sophisticated, Wryn’s songs tackle complex thoughts and feelings. The result is compelling and absorbing music that invites multiple listens.

Wryn sings with a poignant weariness that evokes Sharon Van Etten or Angel Olsen. Her Tiny Desk Contest entry, "Quiet," recognizes the power old wounds can hold over us, and the bravery it takes to move past them.
