chrysalis: Berklee Two Track I Pride

chrysalis performs their original "Flying Solo" and "Madison" by Orla Gartland. For the theme Pride, chrysalis shares their story about how songwriting and the songwriting community has helped them love their queerness.

Isa Ansin, known professionally as chrysalis, is a Boston-based singer-songwriter currently attending Berklee College of Music. Heavily influenced by Lizzy McAlpine, Daniel Caesar, and Bruno Major, chrysalis fuses together an indie-pop sound with hints of folk and neo-soul. They strive to integrate their love for music with their passion for queer liberation by writing about their life and collaborating with an all-queer band.

Two Track is a music video series designed for Berklee’s YouTube and social media channels that features artists in an intimate setting with only one microphone and continuous camera takes. Each recording session will revolve around a single theme (i.e., connection, love, dreams) that can be expressed by the artist either through their track selection or through a short storytelling segment that will be recorded as part of the performance. The videos in this series will premiere at specific dates and times, but if you miss the premiere, each video will be public on the channel in continuity.
