Grace Sorensen is a 18 year old singer, songwriter, and dancer. From a young age she found she had a unique presence on the stage, as she was awarded through competitive dance for “Pure Artistry,” “Best performance,” and more. At just 14 years old, she realized music was the reason she loved dance, and wanted nothing more than to create her own sounds and surround herself with musicians. She reached out to local vocal instructors and found herself in the caring hands of Laurie Winckel. After training for about 2 years, Grace was ready to release her original music. In February 2020, “Tell Me” came out as her debut single. Since then, she sees no stopping. Grace’s moody, passionate, and authentic approach to music makes her an interesting and compelling face to follow. With her music, she promises to make you ‘feel’ something. Let her lyrics move you like water, creating tears of joy and pain.

Houston born Emay Holmes found his voice in the middle of the Arabian Gulf on an aircraft carrier while serving in the U.S. Navy. Now based in the Music capital of the World, he draws influence from Hozier’s lyrical bluesy-gospel, the easy afrobeats of Nigerian Pop crooner Joeboy, and the vintage authenticity of Texas’ own Leon Bridges emerging from their unique convergence with his own genre-bending version of acoustic soul. He is a storyteller inspired by the events of his everyday life. His music is honest and speaks to the common experiences we all share in our humanity providing everyone who listens an opportunity to explore what’s beyond the surface.
