New York born and bred and now Los Angeles based Nolo Grace is a prolific Korean American artist and producer who is making waves with her own signature blend of dreamy left of center pop. Her latest single is the deeply profound and poignant "Mother" and is in collaboration alongside her husband producer and songwriter Martin Wave (Steve Aioki, Post Malone).
With "Mother", Nolo Grace finds the courage to write a song all about her troubled and tumultuous upbringing. Her mother was plagued with mental illness including schizophrenia and she endured abuse both from her mother as well as her father. Her lyrics shine light on the pain and anger that she has experienced due to her difficult childhood. Through the healing power of creating music as well as time and reflection, Nolo has found solace and ultimate understanding and forgiveness for her parents. Lyrics including "Mother / I am ready to let you go / To cut the ties / To say goodbye," also show that even though she has forgiven her mother she is ready to not have her rule over her life anymore. The song also acts as a reminder to others that they are not alone in their struggles. Sonically, "Mother" shines with melancholic rich vocals that are equally dreamy as they are angelic. Cinematic synths and mood drenched instrumentation are also highlighted in this deeply cathartic musical envelopment.
Nolo Grace creates transformative musical releases full of heart and soul. The artist is a woman of many talents who once had a successful career as a corporate executive on Wall Street. Finding her love of music though, she has found her voice as a talented singer/songwriter and producer. Her music has been featured on Netflix’s “Bling Empire,” among other high profile placements and she has quickly made a name for herself as an important artist on the rise.
