GRACE CORSI

Grace Corsi is curious about the world and her place within it. Her music explores past selves, nature and cities, and the joy, wonder, and angst of being alive. Born and raised in verdant Seattle, Grace developed a connection with nature that grounds her two passions: music and urban planning.  Whether she’s composing a string arrangement or developing a climate action plan, Grace aspires to tell compelling stories, build community, and spark positive change. 

Now based in Los Angeles, Grace is a multi-talented storyteller: a vocalist, songwriter, and composer. A recipient of ASCAP’s Herb Alpert Young Composer Award and the Phoebe Jacobs Prize, Grace has earned acclaim for her contemplative and innovative compositional style. Drawing from versatile luminaries like Joni Mitchell and Madison Cunningham, her music stretches across genres, fusing jazz harmony, folk melodies, nature imagery, and unapologetic lyrics. 

Grace holds dual degrees in Jazz Voice and GeoDesign from the University of Southern California. She has performed at venues in Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, and Amsterdam including the Hotel Cafe, the Blue Whale, Catalina’s, and Carnegie Hall, and performs regularly around Los Angeles. Grace has studied under Vince Mendoza, Kathleen Grace, Sara Gazarek, and Patrice Rushen among others. 

Grace will be releasing her debut album, Downriver, in March 2024. Her music is available on all major streaming platforms.
