Early Life and Education
Born on 3 May 2000 in Lagos, Grace Idowu Ibukunoluwa hails from Ondo State. She began singing at 11, and by her mid-teens, she knew music was more than a gift, it was her purpose. Influenced by artists like Kierra Sheard and Victoria Orenze, she later studied Music at Babcock University, where she refined her craft and deepened her understanding of worship as both art and ministry.
Career
Grace released her first single, “Odogwu,” in 2018 while still in her teens. Her real breakthrough came in early 2020, when she signed with Brand New Entertainment and its imprint, Brand New Records. That same year, she joined emPawa Africa, Mr Eazi’s artist development program, which gave her music a wider platform.
Her single “Sokale,” released later in 2020, became her signature track. It resonated with listeners not just for its melody, but for the conviction in her voice. People took notice, including major names in the global gospel scene.
She followed up with her debut EP, Amazing God, in 2020, and after a brief pause, returned in 2023 with her second EP, More. Her songs have drawn praise from international gospel artists, and she’s been nominated for Rising Stars at both the African Entertainment Awards USA and the Kingdom Achievers Awards.
Personal Life
Grace keeps her personal life private. She doesn’t talk much about relationships or family outside of her music, choosing instead to let her work speak for her. What comes through in interviews and on her social media is a deep commitment to her faith and to using her gift to serve something greater than herself.
