Calli Grace is a 22 year old singer-songwriter influenced by pop, country, and alternative artists, including Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Zach Bryan, and Fleetwood Mac. Writing songs and performing live around her hometown of Stockton since she was 10 years old, Calli continues to grow into herself musically.
Calli has an astute awareness of the healing powers of music as she has partnered with organizations including Mother's Against Drunk Driving/Every 15 Minutes ("Goodbye") and Lucille Packard Children's Hospital, Stanford ("I'll Be There") for whom she has volunteered a lyrical hand.
Calli released her debut EP “Seventeen” in the spring of 2019, a collection of five original songs reflective of teenagers’ naive experiences with modern romance.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Calli began her freshman year of college at the University of San Diego in the fall of 2020. Faced with such an unprecedented way of life, Calli turned to songwriting. Out of this creative escape emerged her sophomore EP “hopeless romantic.” Working with Nashville-based producer Shannon McArthur throughout the summer of 2021, Calli perfected five original tracks, all telling of real-life experiences with love, or rather, the idea of love.
In July 2022, Calli had the opportunity to open for multi-platinum country music artist Chris Young at the Fruit Yard in Modesto, California. Such doors continue to open for this 21 year old artist, who has spent over a decade honing in on her musical craft. Calli remains captivated by the whimsical nature of music, and strives to grow her platform and keep creating songs that have the same effect on the world around her.
Most recently, Calli released “No Dawn” on April 12, 2024. This song marks the beginning of a new era of Calli’s music. While her past work has been written from an outward-facing perspective, transforming the world she sees around her into lyrics, Calli has challenged herself to look within. For the past two years, Calli has used songwriting as a means of self-discovery as she navigates the new stage of life that is her 20s. Stay tuned for more stories.
