Signed at 19. Touring with Dua Lipa. Getting love from Stormzy. But behind the exciting moments, Grace Carter was trying to find her voice in an industry that didn’t always understand her. This week, Grace joins Mo Gilligan for a funny, honest and deeply personal conversation about growing up, making music from heartbreak and learning to back herself. Grace opens up about writing songs about her absent father, being a secret from a whole side of her family, and the label meeting that left her crying on the phone to her mum. She also shares why RAYE speaking out meant so much to her — and how she’s found her way back to making music on her own terms. Plus: Lana Del Rey turning up at her show, why karaoke gives her anxiety, her stepdad’s life-changing guitar challenge, and approaching 30 feeling like she’s only just getting started. With her album When Saturn Returns, Grace is ready for her next chapter.
