ABOUT

Candace in Wonderland is the artistic project of Nashville-based artist and writer Candace Matthews. Inspired by the surreal, she brought the moniker to life in 2019 as her sound began shaping a vibrant, whimsical world.

 

Her colorful, quirky music blends dreamy bedroom pop with elements of grungy emo pop-rock, funk, and even hints of jazz—resulting in a unique sound she likes to call “dreamo pop.” With deeply personal and authentic lyrics, Candace tells stories inspired by dreams and psychedelic concepts in a casual, conversational style. Layered with lush harmonies and catchy melodies, her sound creates an immersive, otherworldly experience.

 

Drawing influence from artists like Paramore, Billie Eilish, and Remi Wolf, Candace has built a distinct identity—one that’s as visually dynamic as it is sonically. Known for changing her hair color with each release, she brings her evolving aesthetic to life through her ever-expanding musical universe.
