• GRACEY on Being Stubborn Artistically, Major Setbacks & Embracing Neurodiversity
    Aug 5 2025

    GRACEY has carved a name for herself thanks to her powerhouse vocals, unrivalled songwriting talents and bold pop anthems — but there’s much more to her story.

    Having written songs for the world's biggest artists (including Jonas Blue & RAYE's By Your Side and Meghan Trainor's Make You Dance), GRACEY came out as a popstar in her own right - before a serious vocal injury set her back... and then she split with her label.

    GRACEY's new music is as raw and authentic as it is catchy. Her new EP The Ladybug is a deeply personal snapshot of her twenties, inspired by self-discovery, resilience and finding beauty in the unexpected.

    On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and GRACEY talk about growing up neuro-divergent, navigating the pressures of the music industry and bouncing back after vocal surgery.

    They dive into the magic of manifestation (and the “yellow car theory”), the challenges of breaking into pop as a young woman and why GRACEY believes stubbornly trusting your vision is the key to real artistry.
