Grace is barely 13 years old and has shown her talent by winning AGT and releasing her first EP shortly after entitled, Perfectly Imperfect. The title fits her perfectly. While she may be raw, she is a breath of fresh air in a sea of overproduced music. She doesn't sing about the typical song topics and instead relates to us with emotions that we can all feel as humans. From trying to find herself, to her special relationship with her sister, to fighting bullies to a close friend's betrayal. We can all connect to the songs and realize we too, were born to shine.

I'm very excited to see what she comes up with next.
Grace has the most diverse audience I have ever seen. The songs she writes connects with everyone. I've been listening to music for over 40 years and I don't say this lightly, she is the most incredible talent to come along in 50 years! She evokes such emotion from the audience when she sings. You can't teach that...that is a gift along with all of her other attributes which are too many to list. She is a super star and one day a legend!
