Having been born and grown up in Los Angeles, Grace Kay studied at an all-girls high school, and has spent much of her career pursuing her desire to empower other women.
Upon graduating from the University of Southern California with a degree in acting, Grace appeared in a number of short films and miniseries. Those appearances help instil the importance of storytelling in Kay’s work, which now forms a fundamental part of her approach to songwriting. With a sound that draws on synth-pop and layered, textured vocals, Grace Kay’s music will likely appeal to fans of MUNA and Caroline Polachek.
Having previously appeared on BlackPlastic.co.uk with her song Here, Kay is back with Grace’s Gospel, the title track from her debut LP, released today. On that release, this song closes out the album as a dedication to her niece. Chugging bass gives the song an energised, 80s energy, whilst crisp drums and soaring vocals create a transcendent, worldly aesthetic. The result is uplifting, refreshing and celebratory.
