My name is Grace Davis. I'm 20 years old and I'm from Blackburn
I grew up in a little town called Langer with my brother my sister and my mum and dad
So I work in gotten in a warehouse packing CDs and vinyls and t-shirts we pack it and send it to them
I've been gigging since I was about 16 basically doing every weekend one of my friends used to go out to like
Underaged clubs and things I was singing at people's birthdays on Saturday nights and doing weddings and things like that
The one thing that I love to do in life is perform
And I think that's where I'm happiest and that's all I've ever really wanted to do
I think everybody thinks that pop stars are supposed to be very glamorous. Especially the girls
You're wearing heels and miniskirts and have great bodies, and I just think
Actually, I'd rather just be in a pair of trainers and some baggy trousers and just feel comfortable on the stage
So I'm singing an original song today
It's basically about when I was singing in old men's pubs and things like that all the locals and even my friends
Just started to say you know Gracie's gonna be singing in these pubs for the rest of her days like it's not gonna go much
further than that and I started to believe them it was a bit heartbreaking because it was kind of like
You're good, but you're not good enough
Hopefully I have an inner baby
I've never played this song to anybody, but I just got to keep my fingers crossed and just do my best I guess
Hello

I've been singing in in pubs and restaurants and things like that just fit for years since were 16 to 18
