About Grace Leer
Grace Leer is a California native who began singing at 6. Instead of skipping college, Leer followed her athletic passion by playing D1 soccer at the University of California, Berkeley. She made the move to Nashville four years ago and appeared in the Top 10 on Season 18 of ABC’s American Idol. Since then, Leer has secured a record deal via 19 Recordings, Inc. and has spent the last year writing and recording music for herself - titled debut EP, available now. The first single off the EP, “Brought A Girl,” was released in February, and shortly after its release, gold record holder and Kansas native Logan Mize asked her to join him on his latest single, “Nothing with You,” released April 8, and serve as the direct support act on his spring 2022 It’s About Time tour. Leer has since released singles including the ode to country greats “Ones Before Me," the breakup anthem “After 1" and the relatable "The One."
