Grace Farriss

Grace Farriss is an upcoming Sydney artist who has just released her debut single All The People, a “funky fireball of a track” with symbolic meaning to celebrate the interconnection between the diversity which shapes the world.

All The People was recorded and produced by Tony Buchen, and mastered by Leon Zervos, known for his work with Amy Shark, Pink, and Maroon 5.

The song is a soulful introduction to the young artist, honing in on 70s disco powerhouse themes and her fascination with “how all of the world’s cultures united and came to be and how we all interact with one another and interconnect through our wonderful cultural differences,” as explained by Farriss.

“What I feel other cultures teach you is that we are all one and the same, which I feel music and the arts certainly accomplish to bring this awareness to us all so intimately and so beautifully, internally and in celebration with one another.”

Farriss is currently studying her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and is an ambassador for the Jane Goodall Institute and Sea Shepherd, as well as having founded her own environmental institute, The Grace Earth Organisation.

The dynamic singer is also a poet, songwriter, composer, producer, painter, author, and environmentalist.

“I am an active advocate for the welfare of our earth and the environment we inhabit. I support environmental causes, as this is what feels most important to me,” says Farriss.

Farriss is set to release her debut album, Grace, later this year with performances from The Section Quartet, Matt Johnson, Joey Waronker, and more.

Later this year, she will also publish her first book, Poetry, Sayings And Stories.

In an interview with City Hub, when asked about her musical inspirations Farriss said, “My biggest inspiration is where I am in the present moment and what I am thinking or feeling. Classical music inspires me greatly. People and life experiences and emotions inspire me greatly, as well as the natural world where I feel the most comfortable.”

When asked how she hopes to impact people with her music Farriss said, “I can only hope that people will feel more connected to their true nature when they listen to my music. Or to feel inspired or healed in some way by hearing another being like their own with a similar emotion to theirs.”

All The People is streaming now on Spotify and Youtube.
