Trace

Singer-songwriter TRACE weaves deeply personal stories in the form of moody, R&B inflected pop music. TRACE’s saccharine, breathy vocals are juxtaposed with pointed reflections on her experiences to create music that swells with emotional depth. With each new release, TRACE dives further in to reveal the most vulnerable parts of herself and create shared moments of introspection on life, love and loneliness.  The Los Angeles based TRACE grew up around music watching her famous mother, described as the “Tina Turner of Vietnam,” perform. In a way, becoming a musician felt like manifest destiny. However, TRACE was determined to make it on her own terms. “A lot of Vietnamese singers don’t write their own music and this genre of diary-writing songs – that’s the core of me.” First penning songs in her bedroom with an acoustic guitar, TRACE brought her first EP “Low” to life through a Kickstarter campaign to fund production. The EP would go on to earn TRACE comparisons to the west-coast cool of Lana Del Rey and the R&B-kissed ruminations of James Blake, as well as over 45 million Spotify streams.
