Chartbreaker: How ‘Bloodstream’ & TikTok Took Alyssa Grace From Cheesecake Factory to the Hot 100
The breakthrough hit has hit a No. 45 on the chart, as the folk-pop artist readies her headlining tour.
Alyssa Grace, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from Torrance, California, has soared to fame after her breakout single, "Bloodstream," debuted on the Billboard Hot 100. Prior to this, the server at the Cheesecake Factory juggled her day job with her growing music career, but her burgeoning success prompted her to focus on her music full-time, ultimately leading to her resignation from her job.
"Bloodstream," released in June, reached a peak of No. 45 on the chart and is the third single of Grace's career, all of which have come this year. The song, featured on her July debut EP Spilling My Guts, is a confessional track that resonates with fans due to its universal themes of toxic relationships and family trauma. Grace's TikTok presence played a pivotal role in her rise to stardom, with fans relating her music to their own experiences and providing invaluable feedback.
The singer's debut EP includes "Dog With a Bone" and "Picking Petals," while her headlining tour, set to kick off on September 21, promises massive crowds and shows in New York, Los Angeles, and London.
