Bio

To coin a phrase used by Eric Roberson, Gracie is a music fan first.

Gracie first got addicted to quality soul music in her early teens, listening to radio stations such Radio Luxemburg , Kiss, Invicta, and LWR. Always at her happiest spending countless hours in record shops searching for the latest releases, and hidden gems.

Another passion is the live music experience starting with her first concert to see Atlantic Star in the 1980's. Over the years she has seen most of her favourite artists including Teena Marie, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Anita Baker, Prince, Maxwell, D'Angelo, Aretha Franklin, Dwele, Joe, Maze, Gregory Porter, Omar, Dianne Reeves and many more.

Music is definitely something that can make you happy, lift your spirits and just put a spring in your step.
