Grace of Arc

Montréal, Québec, Canada

Montréal singer, songwriter, musician and producer Grace of Arc makes alternative rock built around cinematic atmosphere, heavy dynamics and emotionally direct writing. Raised in a music-filled household and writing from a young age, Grace developed a style that pulls from rock, metal, opera, jazz and modern alternative pop rather than treating those influences as separate worlds.

The project began gaining wider attention with "Sides Of Me I’ve Never Met," which was selected as a SOCAN Song of the Week. Grace subsequently earned Spotify editorial support through playlists including ALT_QC and Fresh Finds Heavy, while 2026 singles such as "Rotten" and "La fin" continued sharpening the project’s dark, theatrical sound. Grace has also participated in artist-development programs including Canada’s Music Incubator and SOCAN Kenekt.

As a queer, non-binary artist of colour working in indie and alternative rock, Grace of Arc brings a perspective still underrepresented in those scenes. The project’s importance is not simply representational, though: the music is deliberately ambitious in its arrangement and production, making Grace part of a Montréal alternative ecosystem where genre, language and identity increasingly overlap.
