Psyclo’s story begins far from the stages and studios of Los Angeles, in the northeastern Chinese city of Yingkou, where she was born in 1997. Raised initially by her grandparents and later moving to Shenyang with her grandfather to start school, Psyclo’s childhood was structured and academic, far removed from the chaos and color of the creative industries she would eventually call home. Her mother, perhaps sensing a seed that hadn’t yet sprouted, enrolled her in piano lessons at the age of six. But for young Psyclo, music wasn’t yet a passion—it was an obligation.
Her real dream, back then, was to become an actor. That dream pushed her to take a bold leap at seventeen, moving alone to Los Angeles to study filmmaking and screenwriting. For most, a journey like that would be enough. But for Psyclo, film was just the beginning. As she immersed herself in storytelling, another voice inside her started to grow louder—the one that would eventually find its purest form in music.
Now based in L.A., Psyclo is a singer-songwriter, record producer, and audio engineer who brings a multi-layered lens to everything she creates. Her newest single, “All My Tears Are Dry,” is a raw, intimate exploration of emotional survival. It’s the first taste of her upcoming album Loved, a project that traces her movement from self-harm toward something deeper and quieter—self-love. The track doesn’t beg for sympathy or disguise the wounds it references. Instead, it stands tall in its resolve. This is not a story of overcoming pain in one sweeping crescendo. It’s about gathering the fragments, day after day, until you realize the crying has stopped and you’re still standing.
“All My Tears Are Dry” pulses with Psyclo’s signature emotional intelligence. Her voice—steady, vulnerable, weathered—feels like it’s speaking directly to the version of you that’s walked through fire and isn’t sure what comes next. There’s strength in her restraint. There’s power in her refusal to sensationalize the journey. Psyclo doesn’t just make music—she documents transformation in real time.
For an artist who once wanted to be someone else entirely, Psyclo has become nothing if not fully, fearlessly herself. With this new chapter unfolding, she’s not asking to be understood—she’s already done the work. Now, she’s simply sharing what she found on the other side.
