The Graceful Bard, a.k.a. Xhën, is an improvisational composer/performer who resides on the East Coast of the US. Since 2020, she has been creating lush improvised soundscapes, using the BOSS RC-505 loopstation and a variety of instruments. Often times, she utilizes her audiences' conversation and usernames as inspiration for impromptu lyrics. Creatively, she is inspired by a wide variety of genres, including film scores, VGM, trip hop, electronic, R&B and many more.

Since 2021, Bard has been organizing a niche online raid train called "505 Fest" that focuses on showcasing other talented musicians from around the world who have found similar inspiration with the BOSS RC-505. In 2024, the fest featured over 40 performers from 16 different countries.

In March of 2023, Bard was featured on the front page of Twitch for Women's History month, and in April of 2023, she became a Twitch Partner. Also in 2023, Bard attended her first TwitchCon in Paris, followed by a month-long European tour where she met and jammed with many of her global musical peers. In October of 2023, Bard then had the honor of performing at TwitchCon, Las Vegas, on the Kappa Cabana stage. Since then, Bard has continued to pursue her dreams of creating music and art for the masses. She has recently become an official Founder of the Twitch Creator Clubs music program, and is deeply excited for whatever may come next.
