musician | Grace Shuley
Nashville based musician, Grace Shuley, has been honing her songwriting skills for years. Since picking up the guitar in 2023, Grace has blended new forms of indie and alternative music to create her own unique sound.
Her inspiration comes from her mother, a commercial pianist composer, who forced her to take piano as a child--which taught her the value of determination and grit. Grace’s daring, poignant music serves as an alter-ego for her bright, hilarious personality.
