About
Katie Grace's wistful singer-songwriter musings are steeped in the coastal scenery and larger-than-life characters of the North East coast where the artist found her feet. The recipient of the 2023 Alan Hull Award for songwriting, her roots have been in the richly creative North Shields scene since she was 13, busking and gigging across the region supporting artists such as Tom A. Smith, Dave Hull-Denholm of Lindisfarne, Bear Park, Ceitidh Mac and Ella Henderson alongside sellout headline shows in 2023. After her appearances at Camp Bestival in summer 2024, drawing in her largest crowds to date in Dorset and Shropshire, a stint in the cohort of Generator’s First Notes artist development project preceded her first main stage booking for Mouth of the Tyne Festival in summer 2025. Now aged 20, Katie splits her time between the North East of England and South East London, where she studies music and regularly appears at venues such as the Dublin Castle in Camden. Her recent grant from the iconic Sunday for Sammy trust is funding her ongoing recording work.
