Upsahl has transitioned from a classically trained musician to a prominent singer-songwriter, accumulating a diverse portfolio of original releases and collaborations with internationally recognized artists. After signing a recording deal with Arista Records in 2018, becoming the first artist on the newly re-launched label, Upsahl released her debut EP, Hindsight 20/20, and the single ‘Drugs’ on March 8, 2019. Prior to this breakthrough, Upsahl cultivated her early career by independently writing and producing her full-length debut album Viscerotonic in 2015, which was followed by her third album, Unfamiliar Light, in 2017. That same year, Upsahl established herself as a recognized local act in Phoenix, performing at the McDowell Mountain Music Festival where she opened for acclaimed artists including The Shins, Beck, and Flume.
Upsahl maintained an active and extensive touring schedule, supporting Olivia O’Brien in 2021, Yungblud and FLETCHER in 2022, and embarking on tours across Europe, the UK, and Australia with Tove Lo and Melanie Martinez in 2023. Her recent endeavors include a notable feature in July 2023 on a version of K-pop girl group Le Sserafim’s hit song ‘Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard’s Wife.’ Signaling a significant new phase in her career, Upsahl announced her departure from Arista Records in February 2025 at her own request. This strategic move positions her for future independent releases and partnerships, building on her proven track record of songwriting, touring, and chart success.
