Grace Cope, a 20-year-old musician from Bedford, has recently released a new single titled "Kept It All Inside." Living with Tourette’s syndrome, Grace describes music as a sanctuary where her tics subside, allowing her to express herself freely. Her career gained momentum after an audition for a Tourette’s Action campaign at London’s Olympic Studios, where she met renowned producer Chris Kimsey, known for working with the Rolling Stones and Elton John. This encounter led to collaborations and her signing with Cyber Nomad Records.
Grace has faced bullying and misunderstandings related to her condition but views Tourette’s as a "blessing in disguise" that helped her overcome selective mutism and build confidence. She aims to use her growing platform to advocate for neurodiversity and reduce stigma, emphasising that Tourette’s can enrich artistic expression. Her music is available on major streaming platforms, and she actively shares her journey on social media.
