Grace Kelly

Singer-saxophonist-songwriter-composer Grace Kelly has left an indelible mark on the jazz world with her sold-out concerts, 15 acclaimed albums, and performances at prestigious venues like the Hollywood Bowl and on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” As of 2022, she became the youngest member of Berklee College of Music's Board of Trustees. With over 1,000 shows as a bandleader in 35 countries, including appearances at the Kennedy Center and major international jazz festivals like Montreal, Newport, and Montreux, Grace has captivated audiences worldwide. Her saxophone skills and vocals have led her to collaborate with stars like Lin Manuel-Miranda, Jon Batiste and Wynton Marsalis. As a songwriter, Grace has earned accolades like the 2018 John Lennon Songwriting Contest’s “Song of the Year” for “Feels Like Home,” along with multiple ASCAP Composer Awards, Boston Music Awards, and International Songwriting Awards. Her instrumental mastery has been recognized nine times in Downbeat Magazine's Critics Poll as “Rising Star Alto Saxophone,” and she was the 2023 critics poll winner for Bari Sax. Grace has also made notable appearances in film and television including Amazon’s hit show Bosch, and the Emmy-winning Yamaha production The Right Note. Her latest project, “At The Movies: Grace Kelly with Strings,” is an orchestral exploration of cinema music, showcasing her innovative approach to blending jazz with the film soundtrack genre.
