The singer's voice has been described as 'liquid gold'. Grace herself says, 'My voice type is quite rare.
"It is the lowest female voice so the combination of this and, the fact that I am using my training to sing songs that people may not expect, has allowed me to bring a whole new flavour to the crossover genre."
