“Her ability to produce such an emotive and powerful song was immediately striking. Grace’s lyrics perfectly matched the poetic voice of the character she was writing for… (her song) was also musically complex, also melodically and harmonically attractive on first listen.” - Grant Olding, Tony nominated and Drama Desk Award winning composer
