Grace looked forward to collaborating after a move to Los Angeles
After her run on American Idol, Grace left Berklee School of Music in Boston and moved to Los Angeles, where she is writing and recording new music.
“I’m most excited about getting in the room with a lot of different people,” Grace told MassLive in an interview last fall. “And writing with people who are more experienced than I am.” The singer said.
“I have written songs, I’m still writing,” Grace added, “But to be able to take songs that I want to release but aren’t quite ready yet [and give] to somebody who has been doing this for longer and has more experience with it, I’m excited for that.”
