Hailing from the charming town of Walterboro, South Carolina, Carlyle Griffin is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter who seamlessly weaves together various genres to form her distinctive sound. Drawing from blues, folk, soul, and the Southern gothic tradition, Carlyle’s voice is a lantern in the dark — flickering, warm, and unafraid to illuminate the shadows. Unmistakably her own, Carlyle doesn’t just sing — she testifies.

After graduating from Clemson University and moving to Nashville in 2021, Griffin quickly established a presence in the music scene, winning a Josie Award for Folk/Americana Single of the year for her first single, “Symptomatic Daydream.” In 2025, she signed her first record deal with Rustic Roots Media, marking a significant milestone in her career and leading to the recording of her debut album at the historic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, set to be released next year.

Carlyle Griffin invites listeners into a sacred space — one where pain is alchemized into beauty, and Americana finds its soul again. Her music bridges timeless spirit with modern vulnerability that lingers long after the last note fades. The authenticity and sincerity she pours into her work create an irresistible allure, attracting fans from all walks of life.
