Grace Carter
Bush Hall, W12 7LJ , [Venue Details]I was 17 when I came into the music industry and 19 when I started releasing music. Initially, I was independent and then signed to a major label later that year. Looking back, I realised I really had no idea who I was outside of the big emotions I was carrying.
My first project,"Why Her, Not Me", was about growing up with an absent parent. Writing it was one of the most healing experiences of my life, but I wasn't prepared for what came afterwards. Every day, I was revisiting the hardest parts of my childhood, reliving them on stage, in interviews and in the studio. Without the emotional support I needed around me, I eventually stopped processing that sadness and instead felt like I was defined by it.
Eventually, I realised I needed a reset. I wanted to rediscover who I was beyond the childhood trauma that had come to define both my music and much of my early twenties. So much life had happened since then, but I was scared to open up again.
Last year, I booked an impromptu flight to Stockholm, hoping a change of scenery might reignite the spark I'd been missing, and luckily for me, it did! In the space of ten days, I made something bigger than anything I could have hoped for. For the first time in a long time, I felt free. Nobody was expecting anything from me. Nobody was putting pressure on me. When I finally stopped putting that pressure on myself, the excitement I used to feel about music came rushing back.
