Molly Grace Zeytoonian (born December 6, 2001), known professionally as Molly Grace, is an independent American musician and singer-songwriter based out of Nashville.[1][2][3] Grace has referenced artists such as Lizzo, Chappell Roan, Lawrence, Reneé Rapp, Remi Wolf, Taylor Swift, and Freddie Mercury as influences in her music that blends pop, funk, and disco.[1][4][5]

Career

[edit]

Debut EPs and Belmont Showcase Series

[edit]

Grace released her first EP in 2021. Everybody Wants to Know Molly features the singles "Here I Am," "Love's Made a Fool of Me," and "Sunday Dinner."[5][6] "What if I? (The Grocery Store Song)," is a lighthearted song that explores the concept of post-breakup self-acceptance while incorporating the names of common grocery stores like Whole Foods, Kroger, CVS, and Publix.[7]

Throughout 2022, Grace released several more singles such as "Not the One," Woman's Intuition," "Sweet September," and "Ghostin'."

In May 2023, Grace released her single "Cancel my Plans," a piano-led queer love song with soul and pop influences.[8] The next month, "Lady Lady," "Back in '08," and "Cancel my Plans" were released together.[9] "Lady Lady," the titular single of these three explores themes of bisexual attraction to women. [7][8]

Grace embarked on her first headlining tour in February 2024 to promote her upcoming EP, Lovesick. The Lovesick Tour was scheduled for eight cities across the United States.[7][10][11] This was Grace's first headlining tour, featuring other artists such as Marielle Kraft.[10] Grace credited the ability of social media to promote her music for giving her the notoriety needed to headline a tour. As an up-and-coming artist, Grace had been left to promote her music through social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. Grace expressed frustration regarding this system in an interview with The Berkeley Beacon, while still recognizing its ability to provide new artists great exposure. She specifically noted how well social media algorithms promote her "upbeat" songs, but not acoustic songs and ballads.[10]

Later that year, Grace released the live album The Lovesick Tour: Live (Side A) and featuring recordings of live performances on the tour in Boston and New York City.[12]

In May 2024, Grace won the 2023-2024 Belmont Pop Showcase, a college-run music festival at Belmont University.[13][14]

Grace's second EP, Lovesick, was released in November 2024 including the singles "Love is Her (Love Her)," If I Never Told You," and "Lovin' on You."[15] This extended play was more heavily influenced by pop, funk, and soul than its predecessor, with Grace citing Earth, Wind and Fire, The Temptations, and Stevie Wonder as inspirations for songs.[10]

In January 2025, Grace released "F.E.M.M.E." as a "femme lesbian anthem" based on personal experiences to highlight the struggles queer people face. That same month the But I'm a Pop Star Tour was announced on Instagram.[16] Grace discussed her efforts involving social media by repeatedly posting videos.[17] The chorus of "F.E.M.M.E." experienced moderate virality on TikTok.[18] "Mad at Her Forever" was released in March 2025.

Personal life

[edit]

Molly Grace was born and raised in Lexington, Massachusetts, to parents of Armenian, Irish, and American descent. Many members of Grace's family played music when she was growing up. Both of her grandfathers were in 1950s-era bands, while her great-uncle and aunt collaborated with Shakira.[19]

By high school, Grace had already learned to play guitar and write songs.[19] Following high school, Grace moved to Nashville, Tennessee and enrolled in Belmont University as a commercial voice major.[5][10]

Grace has spoken about being a member of the LGBTQ community at concerts in the past.[2] Grace is an advocate for women's empowerment, body positivity, and LGBTQ rights.[20]
