About the Creator
Gretchen King is a singer, songwriter, graphic designer, and artist from Ohio. Her work has been featured in both television and film, Spotify's Fresh Finds playlist, and highlighted on Etsy's Instagram account. Growing up in an old house with a barn for a garage, surrounded by cemeteries and across the street from a psychiatric hospital, left a magically surreal and often anxious imprint on Gretchen’s childhood, one that brought both hospital escapees and ghosts to her front door. These experiences have nurtured a wildly imaginative vision that Gretchen uses to express herself through music and art. In 2017, after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and hypothyroidism, Gretchen created Track Journal, a 30-day planner to help people manage their health disorders, schedules and symptoms. She credits her own use of Track Journal for facilitating in the completion of her bucket list goals of creating her own full-length solo album, art project, and books under the name Buggie.
