Sybil Grace is an American session guitarist, composer, and songwriter on the autism spectrum. Sybil was born on an active volcano and raised in rural Washington State. Her compositions are deeply informed by her unique perspective, roots in storytelling, and a diverse musical upbringing.

​

From classical to rock, country to progressive rock and metal, Sybil's early musical landscape was a melting pot of genres. She developed a strong affinity for composition, influenced by a wide array of artists. Her influences in composition and songwriting range from Luca Turilli, Tom Waits and Elliott Smith to Jimmy Webb and Taylor Swift, highlighting her eclectic taste and adaptability.

 

Sybil began training at guitar at a young age. She attended private guitar lessons from the guitarists at the local music store. By age 13 she was playing guitar in a local rock band and beginning to take her guitar studies more seriously. 

At age 18 Sybil began formally studied guitar under many legends in the guitar education world including Luca Turilli , Zack Uidl, German Schauss, Nili Brosh, and Jenifer Batten. She took private lessons with world-class guitar educators for over 10 years.

Currently pursuing her M.A.in Songwriting and Music Production. Sybil is focused on honing her craft further. Her compositions and songs seamlessly blend disparate musical elements, creating a harmonious and impactful experience.
