About Me


I will spare you all the "she started playing piano at 4 years old" stories. Music for almost all musicians is an intricate part of their life and it is no different for me. I admit I don't listen to as much music as I should but I do appreciate on many levels the music I tune in to. Yes, I studied music in college. Yes, I still have a 'normal paying gig' and I do struggle with wild mood swings and depression from time to time. As an artist reading this, I'm sure you understand all the levels of self-doubt of creation as well as the elation it brings.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/13/2004
Band Website: colleengrace.com
Band Members: Matt Pavolaitis - acoustic guitar and bkup vox
Colleen Grace - vox and keys

Influences: Beethoven, Tori (early material), Imogen Heap, Chopin, Kate Bush are a good start. I listen to AFI, Linkin Park, The Killers, MCR when I run so they're getting in my brain. Loreena Mckinnett is perfect for Sunday morning. This next cd should be interesting....
Sounds Like: People have compared my style to Alanis, Tori, Fiona and Sarah (the Usual Suspects).
Breathy, strong, and controlled, Grace’s voice is her most powerful tool. From husky, deep tones to ethereal falsetto, she demonstrates an impressive range. . . Her live performance is marked by equanimity of composure and deft musicianship. – Music Connection 2004
Record Label: Stinging Lily Records
Type of Label: Indie
