GRACE WEBER
GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING SINGER/SONGWRITER
-
Coupled with her undeniable talent—including the soul-igniting vocal presence she first developed by singing in a gospel choir all throughout her childhood—Grace Weber's uninhibited approach has brought a whirlwind of success in recent years.
Weber penned the opening track on Chance the Rapper’s Coloring Book (“All We Got” feat. Kanye West & Chicago Children’s Choir), then saw the groundbreaking mixtape go on to win Best Rap Album at the Grammy Awards, winning Weber her first Grammy.
Shortly after, Weber toured South America with Chance, North America with PJ Morton, and appeared on TinyDesk with Goldlink, all while continuing her work with 'Grace Weber's Music Lab.' (a Milwaukee-based nonprofit she founded to offer free music education to high school students).
In 2021, Weber released her debut album, "A Beautiful Space" executive produced by The Social Experiment and featuring WESTSIDE BOOGIE & Chance the Rapper.
She recently released her sophomore LP, “Paperflower” featuring standouts Jean Deaux & James Vickery, as well as intricate production from the likes of Akeel Henry (Jazmine Sullivan, Giveon), Maths Time Joy (Mahalia, Sinead Harnett), and many more. The project highlights breakout singles “Lonely”, “Do4Me”, & “Intimate”, with Grace performing the latter on COLORSxSTUDIOS and which ultimately was included on their exclusive compilation vinyl.
Paperflower was quickly followed by a headlining tour across the U.S.
Weber's music has been called “sexy, timeless and empowering” by Billboard, "a soothing salve for a world on fire" by Flaunt Magazine, and hailed as “a brilliant songwriting talent” by Lyrical Lemonade.
