For Grace Gaustad, music turns the key to unlock our deepest truths. The 19-year-old Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist intuitively couples thoughtful and vulnerable lyrics with powerful, yet playful soundscapes. The Arizona-born songstress recognized her destiny at a young age, obsessing over pop music and honing her voice in school theater. For Grace’s 16th birthday, mom and dad allowed her to launch a YouTube channel and switch her Instagram from “private” to “public.” In 2018, Grace uploaded a riveting and raw piano and vocal cover of Hozier’s “Take Me To Church.” It organically caught fire on Instagram, amassing 25 million views. Resonating around the world, it even bubbled up on Spotify Argentina’s Viral Top 50. In 2019, she unveiled her debut EP Human, which The Hype Magazine described as “a picture of the most impactful emotions that every human being feels in big ways or small, every day.” She maintained this momentum with the single “Photogenic.” Earmilk praised, “Her writing style is unique due to its distinct pop sound accompanied by dark elements that make her sound undeniable.” Asserting herself as a responsible voice, she welcomes everyone into the embrace of an inclusive sonic safe space without judgment or fear. After generating nearly 40 million total views and streams independently, she opens up this place on her 2021 EP After Dark I and full-length debut and accompanying collection of poetry and artwork, BLKBX.
