Grace Davies (Singer/Songwriter)

Grace has been responsible for some of my favourite music over the last few years including her "i wonder if you wonder' EP which was #1 on my #BestOf2021 list. She talks here about learning to play by ear from a young age and how the dream didn't quite work out the way she planned after finishing second on "The X Factor" and being one of the first acts to be allowed to sing their own compositions. After working with some brilliant co-writers including Lauren Aquilina, Adam Argyle and Frances and the eventual demise of the label she was signed to she moved back home, taught herself how to produce , became an independent artist and finally delivered her definitive version of the much beloved song "Roots". She also talks about the challenges of being an independent artist especially in a content driven market but also the joy she has found being in control of her work and her unbound love of music. She's easily one of the smartest, most talented new artists around and it was so wonderful to catch up with her. More on Grace https://www.gracedaviesofficial.com
