LIVE AT THE BEDFORD

8:00pm GRACE BARR

---

From Irish descent and raised in Camden, North West London, 16-year-old Grace Barr has been quickly gaining a reputation as the UK’s newest and most exciting talent. Grace has been writing since the tender age of 11 and her songwriting and singing skills exude a confidence and wisdom way beyond her years, which has caught the attention of some of the UK music industry’s leading songwriters and producers, including Fiona Bevan (Ed Sheeran/ One Direction), Oli Som (James Blunt, Robbie Williams), Sophie Ackroyd and Ed Graves.

Despite being only 15 at the time, Grace was invited by Scottish No1 artist The Snuts to open for them on their 2021 UK winter tour. Playing her debut live shows solo with just a piano, Grace wowed audiences across the country and gained a loyal legion of new fans with her powerful vocals and spellbinding songwriting.

2022 is already shaping up to be an exciting year with industry attention mounting and Grace back in the studio working with Fiona Bevan for her debut release. Grace has also been invited to play a residency at London’s legendary Bedford which has supported the early talents of Ed Sheeran, Adele and Paolo Nutini in April & May 2022.

8:30pm KTEE

---

KTEE has been singing since the moment she spoke her first word and hasn’t stopped since. Countless hours of her childhood were spent in her tiny room in the south of England. This is where she trained her voice on her own, relying only on her mother’s bulky red tape recorder. One pop song after another was recorded, listened to, analyzed and re-sung until she was fully satisfied with the sound. In fact, 102 recordings were collected on her treasured cassettes to the point of breaking – literally.

​Heavily influenced by her parents’ desire to see her with a degree that offered “proper career prospects” KTEE studied at the University of Vienna where she continued working on her singing skills – this time without her tape recorder and not at all alone. She not only had voice coaches to help with voice training, but also roommates and neighbors to annoy with her “gugugus” and “nenenenes” in other words singing exercises. Once, her “understanding” neighbors even threatened to call the police for noise disturbance! – but she couldn’t and wouldn’t be stopped.

She successfully qualified in a singing competition, which can be viewed kind of the beginning of her career, since she got to know her present producer there. ​After living abroad (Ireland), where she discovered her passion for songwriting, and the search for her musical identity started anew. “It took some time until I found my place in the world of music, but I’ve never stopped following my dream.” ​​Her second single (2017) “Rollercoaster” became semi-finalst of the ISC 2017 (International Songwritng Competition). In this song KTEE compares a rollercoaster ride with the ups and downs one experiences in a romantic relationship.  ​In February 2018 KTEE released her third single “So What” and for which she got airplay on some UK radio stations. This song reflect the singer’s own development from a shy child full of self-doubts to a woman who knows her own mind and is strong and confident. “So What” became her life motto. “Do what you love, haters gonna hate anyway. Follow your dreams, stay strong. And if you fall, stand up, shake of the dust and keep going“, so KTEE.

​In January 2019 her single “Melody” was released in which she uses MUSIC as a metaphor for love. Melody also became semi-finalist of the ISC. The song got airplay in Germany, England and Switzerland.

​In July 2019 her single “Rich” was released. The catchy mood-lifting song is easy to sing and dance to and by singing “I am rich when I feel alive…” KTEE and encourages young people to value the moments in their lives that do not cost a thing. The song got radio airplay in Germany, England and America and is quite successful on Spotify (250 000 streams).

Her newest singles LOUDER and YOUR PLACE got radio airplay in England, America, Netherlands, Italy and Germany.  In January 2021 she released “Push and Pull” which got radio airplay on several international radio stations including BBC Radio Sussex.  ​In March 2021 she released the ballad “Buried Alive”, which deals with a sad love story.  In July 2021 she released “Back in Time”, in which she wishes to be able to travel back in time to give herself a hug. In September she collaborated with Paenda and Vida Noa and they wrote and released “Boys 4 Breakfast”.
