Elin Grace is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter based in Manchester who crafts quirky, soulful indie-folk tracks influenced by the likes of Joni Mitchell and Laura Marling, as well as her love for jazz and classical music. Characterised by her raw and honest storytelling, much of Elin’s lyrics tell the story of her upbringing in the depths of the Welsh countryside; a country girl in the big city, addressing themes of girlhood, mental health and growing up. These narratives are conveyed elegantly through deft vocal harmonies, complex piano accompaniments in which her classical training shines, and tasteful band arrangements.

Mentored by the prestigious ‘Forté Project’, Elin has been tipped by BBC Radio 6 as ‘one to watch’. Her debut five-song EP, ‘Bee Without Wings’, recorded at age 17, was released in 2022 on all major streaming platforms, and Elin is now working on her second release, her most authentic work so far. One of the songs to be featured on her upcoming EP, the bittersweet ballad ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ is available as a live performance video on Elin’s YouTube, alongside a few others. Introducing ‘Breathe’, which had Elin described as ‘prodigiously gifted’ by BBC Radio Wales’ Adam Walton, saying ‘I love her musical vision… her sense of fun’. All of Elin’s music to date has been mixed by Tchad Blake, the innovative mixer responsible for the Arctic Monkey’s ‘AM’, as well as having worked with a plethora of inspirations for her, including Fiona Apple and Celeste.

Elin’s gigging journey began in mid-Wales and the Cardiff live music scene and she has since played venues far and wide, moving between Wales, London and Manchester. These include 93 Feet East on Brick Lane, Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff and Manchester’s Band on The Wall. In summer 2023 she secured her first major festival slot at Greenman, followed by Truck Festival on the Market Stage in 2024, where WhyNow described her set as 'equal parts soothing and soulful', with 'each song feeling like a whispered secret shared between friends.' Debuting her new songs live, Elin is looking forward to sharing some of her recent work with the world on her second EP.
