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.
Singer-songwriter chrysalis performs for this week’s Two Track concert series.
About the Artist
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.
Though they’ve been writing music for less than two years, chrysalis has had major success in their career so far. In November 2021, they had their first gig at Brighton Music Hall in Boston, opening for Vérité alongside Kat Cunning. Then they were asked to open for Vérité again, making their New York City debut at The Bowery Ballroom. They’ve also found success via Tiktok, accumulating over 85,000 followers and 2.2 million likes through their original music, covers of popular songs, and videos surrounding LGBTQ culture.
