Interview with Grace Weber
We had the pleasure of interviewing Grace Weber over Zoom video!
For L.A.-based R&B singer, songwriter and producer Grace Weber, the most powerful moments in music have come from abandoning all expectations.
Compounded with Weber\u2019s ineffable talent \u2014 including the soul-igniting vocal presence she first developed by singing in a gospel choir all throughout her childhood \u2014 that joyfully uninhibited approach has brought a whirlwind of success in recent years. In 2016, Weber penned the opening track on Chance the Rapper\u2019s 'Coloring Book' (\u201cAll We Got\u201d feat. Kanye West & Chicago Children\u2019s Choir), then saw the groundbreaking mixtape go on to win Best Rap Album at the 2017 GRAMMY\xae Awards, winning Weber her first GRAMMY\xae.
Weber has toured South America with Chance, North America with PJ Morton, and appeared on NPR Music's Tiny Desk with GoldLink, all while continuing her work with 'Grace Weber's Music Lab.' - a Milwaukee-based nonprofit she founded to offer free music education to high school students.
Her most recent EP, 'How Did We Get Here,' produced by Louie Lastic and Jack Dine and featuring Masego, was hailed \u201ca masterclass in moving production, radiant vocals and engrossing lyrics,\u201d by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Weber describes the EP as a project about renewal and comeback after a tough season.
As Weber gears up to release her debut album later this year, one of her greatest hopes is to instill others with the same sense of possibility she found in creating each song. \u201cMaking this album, I decided that I would let it take us on a journey, instead of trying to force anything,\u201d says Weber. \u201cI\u2019d love for people to come away feeling like they\u2019ve been taken on a journey too, whatever that might mean for them. Hopefully it\u2019ll help them uncover deeper parts of themselves that they maybe hadn\u2019t understood before \u2014 all the little contradictions that make us the complicated and beautiful people we are.\u201d
Early singles including the uplifting \u201cFeels Like Heaven\u201d and the \u201cpowerful\u201d (COMPLEX) anthem \u201cThru the Fire\u201d feat. Chance The Rapper are testaments to unwavering confidence and strength. Forbes agrees, noting that her new music depicts \u201cher self-actualization as rising from the ashes, like a phoenix.\u201d On her most recent single \u201cPlayed Yourself,\u201d she reclaims the narrative of a former toxic relationship, proving she\u2019s moved on and is now fully in control.
Described as "sexy, timeless and empowering" by Billboard and with 4,000,000+ streams on all platforms \u2014 with writing and feature credits spanning Francis and the Lights and Vic Mensa \u2014 Weber is poised to become one of R&B\u2019s most prominent voices.
