Since Hannah Grace’s breakthrough in 2017, when her power ballad version of Fat Boy Slim’s Praise You sold 60,000 copies and was chosen as the soundtrack for a Lloyds Bank TV advert, she has become recognised for having one of the most extraordinary voices of her generation.
Born in South Wales to Anglo-Irish parents, Hannah was immersed in music from a young age and cites Eva Cassidy, Aretha Franklin, Joni Mitchell and Beyonce among her influences. Whilst still a student at The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, she signed with Never Fade Records and worked with producer Luke Potashnick (Katie Melua, Gabrielle Aplin), releasing two EPs, Meant to be Kind and Mustang. She’s since opened for Gabrielle Aplin, Hozier, Seal and Train, supported Barbara Streisand at BST HydePark, performed for Richard Quinn at London Fashion Week and sold out headline shows in Cardiff and London.
She’s performed live on BBC Radio 2, for Michael Ball and Dermot O’Leary, and on the Sara Cox TV show too. In 2020 she released her debut album, Remedy, to much critical acclaim. BBC Radio 2 supported every single with Praise You, Blue, With You and How True Is Your Love all making the playlist. The album showcased Hannah’s unique blend of jazz, folk and pop and saw her collaborate with a host of writers and producers including, Jessica Sharman (Ward Thomas), Laura White (Leona Lewis, Rita Ora, Eliza Doolittle), Paul O Duffy (Dusty Springfield, Amy Winehouse & Ella Eyre), Martin Luke Brown (Victoria Canal, Nick Wilson) and Tim Bran & Roy Kerr (My Riot – Rae Morris, London Grammar, KT Tunstall) and Luke Potashnick once again.
After being named one of Virgin Money’s three emerging stars for 2020, she went on to release her first self-produced EP Body & Soul (2021). In 2022, she enjoyed a sell-out residency with special guests at Camden’s Green Note. To date, Hannah has 50 million streams worldwide and is currently releasing her new material.
