25 EQUALS 25: GRACE FORLU

On this eleventh day to Christmas, DC brings to you...

Name: Grace Forlu

Age: 21

Location: Maryland, USA

Label: Indie

Contact: www.graceforlu.org or on Facebook: Grace Forlu

DC: Hello Grace, kindly tell us what your music is all about.
Grace: I am mostly into gospel, reggae and worship songs. I sing about God, about life and songs that encourage and motivate people to get closer to God.

DC: Who are your musical influences?
Grace: My musical influences will be Cece Winans and vocally it will have to be Whitney Houston.

DC: If you were to choose a well known song to cover, which would you choose and why?
Grace: Erm, I would choose “Mercy said no” by Cece Winans. I would choose that song because I have been in a position where I did not deserve God’s mercy and that song has helped me to be more thankful for the mercies that God has shown me.

DC: What qualities do you need to succeed in the music industry in your opinion?
Grace: In the Christian music industry you need good vocals. You need to be able to carry your audience and minister to them. You need to understand that it is not just a competition but you need to remember that you are doing God’s work.

DC: Apart from singing, what else do you do?
Grace: I co own a healthcare business agency with my mum and I am also a student studying business administration.

DC: Which artists would you love to work with?
Grace: Erm, I have had the privilege to work with Cece Winans! But I would also love to work with Yolanda Adams, Donald Lawrence etc.

DC: What do you hope for in 2010?
Grace: I hope for greater things, more ministration. I have been booked for next year already so I will be touring the US and maybe London. I hope to release a second album and I hope to be able to meet the people I have always wanted to meet.

DC: And how do you intend on spending Christmas?
Grace: I am going to be spending it with my family and friends, staying indoors and sharing gifts and partying!!
Below is a cover track originally sung by Mary Mary

DC hopes to bring you details of her second album next year.
So stay tuned and come back tomorrow!
Stay sweet

Hi there. I read through this because Grace referred me and I noticed the line that said "It is not just a competition" and i thought to myself, is she really saying that doing gospel music is a competition. I called her and she says you made a mistake. She didn't say it's not just, she said it's not a competition. So, can you please edit that?

Btw, Grace you are my Queen. :-) Love you a gazillion baby girl.
