Grace VanderWaal

Grace VanderWaal

No matter what, your words belong to you. Grace VanderWaal forever treasures her connection to words. As a kid, she always held them close, clung tightly, and never let go. As a woman now, she finds the ultimate freedom in those words, speaking her mind, heart, and soul without filter through her songs. She took the reins of her destiny in 2024. Audiences initially got to know Grace at just 12-years-old when she parlayed winning America’s Got Talent into her rapid rise as an international artist. Between releasing music, she toured with everyone from Florence + the Machine to Imagine Dragons. Among many accolades, she earned a Teen Choice Award in addition to receiving the Billboard “Women in Music” Rising Star Award and becoming “the youngest person ever” to be featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 music list. Not to mention, she starred as the title character in the Disney+ film series Stargirl and later in the acclaimed Megapolis from legendary Academy® Award-winning filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Finding herself independent again in 2024, she dove into creating what would become her next musical statement. The singer, songwriter, actress, and phenomenon amplifies the sound of healing scars, shedding skin, and stepping into her power on her 2025 full-length LP, Childstar [PULSE Records]. With a pen in hand (literally), she’s writing the next chapter of her story—on her own terms.
