Marielle Kraft

Marielle Kraft writes the kind of indie pop that feels like a late-night FaceTime with your best friend — honest, infectious, and deeply relatable. A self-taught singer/songwriter now based in Nashville, Kraft has built a reputation for transforming personal moments into striking, universally resonant songs. Her confessional writing style — often likened to that of Taylor Swift and Maggie Rogers — has earned her prominent placements on Spotify and Apple Music editorial playlists, along with critical acclaim for her authenticity and lyrical clarity.

Since leaving behind a career as a full-time English teacher to pursue music, Kraft has released three EPs and a series of viral singles, including “10x Better,” “Good Days,” and “Good Grief.” Her 2023 concept project, the GOOD EP, marked a pivotal moment in her artistry, garnering praise for its emotional depth and sonic warmth, and propelling her on a sold-out headlining tour across the U.S.

Kraft’s dynamic live shows have become a hallmark of her career. She has performed on national tours, supported artists such as Mt. Joy, Ava Max, and GIRLI, and taken the stage at major festivals including Summerfest and Nashville Pride. Her performances — described by The Washington Post as experiences that “bring together a room full of strangers” — have cultivated a cult-like following that shows up both online and in person.

Kraft’s highly anticipated debut full-length album, The Right People Will Love You, arrived on September 12, along with a successful national headlining tour. She hand-sourced 40 iPod Shuffles as a pre-release album campaign, which sold out in under 20 seconds. This explosive momentum makes it clear that Marielle Kraft is poised to solidify her place as a defining voice in modern indie pop — one that speaks directly to the heart of a generation navigating love, loss, and everything in between.
