At the age of 18, Grace’s first self-released project received national BBC Introducing support, it was championed by BBC 6 Music and earned a track remix by Radio 1 Dance Music DJ, Danny Howard. In 2017, she was invited to appear on The X Factor where her audition video of original song ‘roots’ went viral. In a first for the show, Grace shook up the format by showcasing her original material throughout the competition and eventually triumphed as runner-up.
2020 marked the start of a new era in Grace’s career – her debut EP Friends With The Tragic reaffirmed her reputation as an exceptional songwriter. Following the closure of her former label SYCO, she self-released her second EP I Wonder If You Wonder in 2021, which was an even bigger success - with standout release ‘roots’ (written solely by Grace), reaching the Official Chart Top 100.a
Her EP, It Wasn’t Perfect, But We Tried saw her take the producer’s chair for the first time. As well as writing credits on all five songs, she co-produced three tracks, and fully produced two of the tracks herself, proving her a true multi-hyphenate.
Grace’s catalogue has featured on TV shows including Love Island, Britain’s Got Talent, I’m A Celebrity (Get Me Out Of Here), Strictly Come Dancing, American Idol, Eastenders, Hollyoaks and many more. Image: press / Daniel Alexander Harris
