David Lee Grace Jr.

My name is David Lee Grace, Jr., son of David Lee Grace, Sr. and Sharon Mae Grace. Music has always been an essential part of my life. Both my mother and father have immense talent in music ranging from vocal, vocal harmony, and instrument play. I managed to get my mother’s power while inheriting my fathers soothing mannerisms as a vocalist. My father is also a magnificent steel guitarist, thus, explaining the talent of my instrumental play. He was also an astonishing writer. During my collegiate years, I was a four-year letter winner as a middle linebacker for the Texa s A&M University-Kingsville Javelina football team. I received my Bachelor’s Degree of Science in May of 2006 and also received my Master’s Degree of Science in December of 2007 from Texas A&M University-Kingsville. All of my writing comes from personal experiences. Having a reason to write is the core of creating of a great song. It’s not just the lyrics and chords, but how the song is presented to the listener and how it can relate to their personal experiences. I never could just ‘write to write’; it had to be a feeling or a notion of some sort. I do not know if that is a positive or a negative in the songwriters’ creed, but personally it has worked in my favor thus far. The purpose I try to describe when I sing is to make people feel my words rather than listen to them.
