Grace captivated the audience with her original songs, including Wolves, Used To You, Testosterone, Amsterdam, Super Love Me and Roots.

The 27-year-old performed Roots on the X Factor, in 2017, and the song achieved charting success when she officially released Roots in 2021.

As an official partner of BST Hyde Park, Volvic was on a mission to make the unseen seen in the music world, with a goal of supporting budding musicians wanting to make it in the industry.

Grace joined this year's line-up of emerging artists including Abbie Mac, Ellur, Jessy Blakemore, Nieve Ella, Siobhan Winifred, Olivia Belli, and Blusher.

The former St Leonard's CE Primary School also won an artist package designed to kickstart her journey to fame along with the other emerging artists.

This package includes a recording studio session, a cash incentive, and an unforgettable festival experience with full artist treatment.

Grace said: "Little Grace made it to the big stage! Such a dream. I am mega appreciative to Volvic for giving independent and up and coming artists an opportunity to be on the big festival lineups.

"BST Hyde Park is one of my fave festivals. Seeing my all-time icon and favourite artist Robbie Williams perform there and then performing there myself 24 hours later was mindblowing to me!"

A spokesperson for Grace’s management, Insomnia Music, said: “Well what can we say!?

"Huge thanks to Volvic, BTS Hyde Park and of course Anne-Marie for supporting emerging artists and giving our Grace full VIP treatment.

“Despite torrential downpours, lightning alerts, and blazing sun we consider American Express presents BST Hyde Park done.”
