By late 2023, Rue Grace had stepped into multiple mediums to express her art, except the one she’d been subtly orbiting since childhood. While burnt out, disconnected, and moving through life in an emotional fog, melodies began to appear again. With nothing but minimal tech and half-finished poems, she started putting sound to feelings she’d been struggling to name. It was clumsy and instinctive, but it awakened something she’d almost forgotten.
The first lyric that felt real was, “Teenagers are falling in love with robots on the internet…” A lyric pulled from the overwhelm of modern life: technology, escapism, loneliness, and the growing comfort in digital worlds. That line led to many more, until she’d written her first full song on a guitar she could barely play, using open D, one finger and a lot of guesswork. It taught her that she could translate her inner world into something tangible.
Now based in Melbourne, with a Diploma of Music in her back pocket, Rue makes self-produced dream-folk shaped by nostalgia, emotional realism and a certain resistance to modern numbness. Influenced by artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Cigarettes After Sex and Missy Higgins, her sound blends cinematic piano, hazy bedroom textures and intimate storytelling. She is currently finishing her debut EP: a five-track exploration of grief, intimacy, conflict and the unsettling tenderness of vulnerability.
