Young as she is, Alyssa Grace has already made a name for herself — and she’s still growing. In 2026, the 19-year-old heartstring-plucking singer-songwriter from Torrance, CA, burst into feeds, playlists, and airwaves the world over by drawing on timeless songcraft to tell her own 21st century tale, handcrafting tunes steeped in acoustic tradition yet amplified by her generation’s telltale candor.

She was still waiting tables when her breakout track “bloodstream” hit the Billboard Hot 100 (both U.S. and Canada, while reaching the Top 40 in the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand) after earning 2 million streams on release day. By June, with three songs to her name, Alyssa hit 4.5 million monthly Spotify listeners. She has since eclipsed 8 million.

The numbers are impossible to ignore — on TikTok, she’s tallied over 4 billion views to date across all songs — but they shouldn’t distract from her gifts. In July, Alyssa released her debut EP, spilling my guts, which places those unexpected hits within a powerful narrative about self-doubt and self-growth, the thin line between attachment and addiction, and what it means to both love and be loved. She worked with producers like Steven Martinez (Sara Keys, Alec Benjamin) and Idarose (Joji, Suki Waterhouse) to refine her raw sound, and pushed her lyrics to go deeper inspired by the way her fans made her songs their own.
