Originally from Milwaukee, Grace moved to New York six years ago to attend NYU and now lives in Brooklyn. At 24, Grace has had an amazing journey so far. As a 10 year old in Milwaukee, Grace decided that she wanted to sing in an inner city gospel choir and years of doing that shaped not only her soulful voice but also gave her a worldview much broader than your ordinary kid growing up in a suburb.

Grace has had multiple brushes with fame, having sung on the famed “Showtime at the Apollo” in Harlem, at the Kennedy Center, The Ella Awards, on The Today Show, at the Official Commemoration of 9/11 in Paris, and on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” being handpicked by Oprah from over 400,000 video contest entrants to perform on the show. The Oprah appearance threw Grace into a tornado of the major label music business for which she was unprepared, and ultimately she walked away from the “hit making machinery” to chart her own course. At NYU she started to seriously pursue a career in music in a number of different combos before deciding to go solo in 2010 and embark on the path of recording an album of her own material.

Enlisting the aid of Grammy Award winning producer Mike Mangini (Joss Stone, Diane Birch, Dionne Warwick) Grace released her debut original album, “Hope & Heart,” in 2011. The release lead to appearances on prestigious stages such as NPR’s Mountain Stage, The Barns at Wolftrap, and World Cafe Live. The video for the album’s first single, “Everything to Me,” debuted on the home pages of VEVO and AOL Music. The album achieved Top Ten status on the singer songwriter chart of iTunes in the U.S. and Japan and her music has been featured at Starbucks, Wal-Mart, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and U.S. Airways. Her recent accomplishments also lead to a position on the board of the National YoungArts Foundation where Grace serves as the Alumni Representative, after being named a Presidential Scholar in the Arts, one of the highest honors for young artists in America.

Grace is currently in pre-production for her much anticipated sophomore album.
