  • Bio

    "GIFTS OF GRACE" DEBUT ALBUM: "Gifts of Grace" is a blend of contemporary and classical sounds in the most original interpretation of some of the world's most favourite songs and writers. Then "Cold Outside" - featuring the South African Soweto Gospel Choir and Audius Mtawirira - almost creates a new genre; with a unique blend of an R&B melody and African harmonies against Grace's dynamic and resonant Soprano vocals. This album promises to set the benchmark for contemporary classical Australian music in a way no other Australian artist has done to date. It is original, unpredictable and certain to distinguish Grace apart from other operatic/classical/crossover sopranos. This album is an independent collaboration made up of private donations and investments involving many people who have helped Grace throughout her professional journey - people who believed in her talent and who gave freely of their time, support and advice. For details about donation, sponsorship or investment, including Information Memorandum, please contact gracebawdenpromotions@gmail.com. BIOGRAPHY: Described as one of Australia’s greatest operatic discoveries, Grace Bawden's voice has already been likened to a Stradivarius by some of Australia's best vocal experts. Grace’s unique vocal talents are an unearthly, powerful and moving marvel, whose voice lingers in the memory and touches the hearts of her audience. At the age of 15, Grace was a Judge's Choice Grand Finalist on "Australia's Got Talent 2008". Her mature, operatic voice can soar from highs to lows across almost four octaves. Her warmth, personified in her smile and delivered in her voice, has made her an instant success with people of all ages. Grace was Guest Soloist at the 2006, Adelaide City Council/ The Advertiser Carols by Candlelight, where she wowed an audience of about 30,000. In July 2008, Grace performed for "World Youth Day" as Soloist at her sold out Sydney Opera House show, to a standing ovation, and performed at AAMI stadium to a crowd of 40,000. She won South Australian Junior Entertainer of the Year 2007 and has performed live on ABC Radio and Adelaide Radio's Live Music Festival. Grace's vocal resonance that will send shivers down your back, her vast vocal ability spans across all genres of music, from sacred arias, traditional and musical theatre to contemporary & jazz. With a repertoire of considerably over 700 songs, Grace has become "Adelaide's darling" and regularly performs at VIP, Charitable and Corporate events across South Australia. She has performed with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and Vivente String Quartet and was invited for an Encore performance for the Hilton Hotel's Grange Restaurant "Passion Series" in 2009, following a hugely successful appearance in 2008. In 2008, at 15, Grace finished recording her debut album with multi-award winning Producer/ Songwriter, Audius, who has worked with Delta Goodrem, Guy Sebastian, Paulini, Jess Mauboy and many others. Grace co-wrote "Always with My Love" with well known composer/ songwriter Barbara Griffin and her songs had remained in the Broadjam Top 10 Charts for almost a year {including Classical-Contemporary and Australian}. In 2009, Grace began collaborating with a number of composers from Los Angeles on her own original material. Included on her debut is music by the gifted animated film and television score composer, Gregory Hinde. Grace has performed live on The Today Show (Channel 9) in July 2007 with rave reviews from Richard Wilkins, and sang live on Radio 5AA by invitation of Australian Idol Judge, Mark Holden.
