For Grace Leer, country music has always been personal. From singing “Wide Open Spaces” at nine years old to finishing in the Top 10 on American Idol, her journey has been rooted in storytelling, grit, and heart. A former Division 1 soccer player and UC Berkeley graduate, Grace brings that same work ethic to her music career — blending ‘90s country influences with modern flair. Her debut EP showcased her songwriting chops and powerful vocals, while viral hits like “My Mind’s Made Up” and “Best Friend for Life” earned her millions of fans on social media.

In 2023, Grace made her acting debut in the Blake Shelton-produced Hallmark film Time for Her to Come Home for Christmas, which featured her original holiday song “Star on Top of the Tree.” Now an independent artist, she continues to make waves with her latest single “Wine and Whiskey,” national tour dates, and her ongoing cooking series Taste with Grace. With a voice full of soul and lyrics packed with honesty, Grace Leer is proving she’s here to stay.
