Wallice
Candid, guitar-driven indie pop that feels like a long conversation with a friend. Relatable songs for navigating the awkward transition into adulthood.

Wallice creates a sonic world that feels like a Polaroid of Los Angeles: slightly hazy, sun-drenched, but with sharp edges of reality peeking through. Her music sits at the intersection of bedroom-pop intimacy and the crunchier, guitar-led energy of 90s alternative rock. It is the sound of someone figuring it out in real time, delivered with a shrug and a catchy hook.
What truly sets her apart is her lyrical perspective. She avoids the vague metaphors of her peers in favor of hyper-specific, often self-deprecating observations about aging, fame, and the mundane frustrations of modern life. Her voice is often dry and conversational, making the listener feel like they are in on the joke, even when the subject matter turns vulnerable.
Start with the single '23' to hear her signature blend of existential dread and infectious melody. From there, explore the '90s American Superstar' EP for a more conceptual take on the pressures of the spotlight, featuring some of her most confident guitar work to date.
Wallice Hana Watanabe, known mononymously as Wallice, is an American singer-songwriter and former child actress. She is based in Los Angeles, which is where she was born and raised.
