Grace said it was very difficult, but now looking back, she knows what she went through made her the person she is today.
Watch this video from CNN about her:
When Grace was little, her grandfather gave her a drum set and encouraged her to put her focus on something to help her TS. She said she found that music was therapeutic. This helped fuel her music and songwriting. Now, Grace has a No. 1 hit single. She even was nominated for 2011’s “Best contemporary Christian music song” for “Hold Me.”
