Marcelyn Lebovitz (she/they) is a multidisciplinary singer, artist, and educator whose creations are something both fragile and deadly with a heavy helping of kick ass. Marcelyn’s music serves up singer-songwriter-y indie rock weirdness on a silver platter with a side of powerful vocals and cleverly crafted lyrics. Her art, advertised under the name YouCraftyBitch, blends color, whimsy, and witchy vibes into functional art, like knitted bags, beaded jewelry, upcycled clothing, and more. Marcelyn is also the co-founder and organizer of Soul Jar Collective, a group of artists curating shows and workshops in the Greater Philadelphia area. Through Soul Jar, Marcelyn teaches private voice lessons as well as workshops that aim to curate nurturing environments for singers to grow into their own authentic voices.

Though Marcelyn is multitalented, she primarily considers herself a contemporary vocalist, recording artist, and songwriter. Her singing has been lauded as “achingly emotional” (Reading Eagle, 2019), “fragile but deadly” (Collegian, 2017), and “with a voice that drips menacingly stabby lyrics in the most velvet venom tones” (Fuzzy Logic, 2019) and she is often praised for her powerful on stage charisma and the richness and warmth of her voice. She has performed her original indie rock music all across the United States and has released three full length studio albums, which you can hear on all streaming services by searching for Marcelyn. She is also currently a member of the rock band Tragesty, who she plays keys and sings with.

Marcelyn is a graduate of the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts as well as the Pennsylvania State University and is pursuing her graduate degree in Vocal Arts at Temple University. During her education, Marcelyn has appeared in several opera productions, including Britten’s Turn of the Screw (Mrs. Grose), Adamo’s Little Women (Aunt March, Jo cover), and Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe (Queen of the Fairies). Marcelyn also spent several years as a soloist and member of the choir Essence of Joy directed by Dr. Anthony Leach during her undergraduate. Marcelyn also has a talent for the art of burlesque and was a member of the vintage theater company Lady Grey’s Lovelies for several seasons, performing under the stage name Ms. Dalila June.
