hello world

 

Hi - 

This is my blog “too much too little.” Writing words down on paper for some reason feels like the place I can be the most me without cringing too hard so I wanted to make this to try and be a little more vulnerable (surprisingly for someone who literally commodifies their feelings, it’s very hard for me). That’s kind of why I started writing songs I guess. Being alone in my room is where I can shed the likability mask I wear throughout the day and give myself the time to try and understand myself without looking to other people to validate me. 

Anyways, let’s get to the point. This is my introduction so let me introduce myself: 

This is real this is me 

• The name that has been put on this particular clump of cells is Grace 

• I’m 20

• I’m from Hoboken, New Jersey, which is a lot better than most people crack it up to be

• Even so, I was a bridge and tunnel kid and went to high school and college in New York (the main difference being that they start doing drugs a lot earlier there)

• I make music 

• I have made music since I was 12

• I love to cook, specifically any type of Asian food

• I love pickles (as some of you know), but I think I could die happy eating rice every day for the rest of my life 

• I’m a pescatarian 

• I’m 5’10 so shoes rarely fit me 

• It also means I played lots of sports in high school, basketball being my best 

• My favorite music changes, but I love anything that has emotional lyrics and weird production 

• Lately, that means lots of MGMT, Laundry Day, my friend Lauren Juzang, Paramore, The Japanese House, and this one Fountains of Wayne song called Hackensack 

• I wear sambas every day (and I started way before they were cool)

• I love putting on funky clothes and being creative through fashion, Alexa Chung and Jane Birken being my gods 

• My favorite movie is Ferris Bueler’s Day off and even though I’d like to think I’m like Sloane, realistically I’m more of a Jeanie 

• I got to tour for the first time this past fall and it was so fucking fun I actually can’t wait to do it forever I feel like the most complete version of myself on stage which feels counterintuitive to most people but it's true 

My first LA show!

• Even so, I used to have stage fright 

• I don't know how many is too many fun facts 

Now, this is just the basic stuff. I’ll be posting every Friday and inevitably will end up sharing secrets I probably shouldn’t (I can’t help myself) but we just met so that’s all for now. Catch ya next week. 

xx, 

Grace
