Here's a fun and heart-warming video from Jamie Grace's Christmas EP, Christmas Together - it'll get you smiling and in the Christmas Spirit! I love how she got her family and friends together on her birthday to shoot the video, and the lyrics and feel of the song are creatively melded and entertaining. You can get her Christmas EP on iTunes by clicking here!
Jamie Grace describing the making of the Christmas Together Video
My birthday (November 25th) was spent with some great people to make this crazy, fun, quirky music video for "Christmas Together." It features my mom, dad, big sis Morgan and her hubs Patrick and includes some more of my family and closest friends. We had SO much fun! This video wouldn't have been possible without everyone taking their holiday week to hang out and do this! ;) Thank you! Also to my aunt who catered the party haha, SESAC who sent me an amazing cake and Cynthia whose birthday was the same day but still came. ;) LOVE LOVE!!
Cameo Appearances by Jonah Limbert and Jane King - two of the most remarkable dancers on this planet.
Jamie-Grace's inspiring song "You're Not Alone" was featured on VH1's "Basketball Wives LA" - what an amazing way to encourage families going through difficult times. Jamie-Grace says of the song:
"I wrote this song in just a few hours sitting at my piano needed to pour my heart. Having had friends who have survived cancer and other illnesses but also having had a good friend go to be with Jesus after a battle with cancer just this year I've seen firsthand the strength it takes to endure that type of pain. This particular song shares the story of a mother with a child who is sick but she is yet understanding that God's arms are right there and she's not alone."
"Thanks for VH1 sharing this song and thank you SO much to Carl King and Jake King. Two of my friends and also two talented people I know that pulled this off. PS thank you Grace Presbyterian for letting me use your lovely facilities and mom/manager Mona who drove me to film this haha.
Here are two more inspiring lyric videos, "Come To Me" and "Show Jesus" from Jamie Grace's album "One Song At a Time." I think I'm going to have this album on repeat!:)

"Whatever I'm doing, I'm just going to get my guitar out, and I'm going to sing the truth. I'm going to sing about Jesus, and when I'm doing speaking, I'm going to speak about my Savior. I'm going to show it in my actions, and that's really what it's all about." - Jamie Grace

About the Revolve Tour
Since 1996, more than 4 million women have packed themselves and their friends into sold-out arenas across North America for 2-day events that are inspiring, encouraging, and fun. Every year, they come back for another weekend with Women of Faith—and for many of those years, they said (in pretty much these exact words), “This is awesome! But what about something for my daughter?”
In 2005, Women of Faith created The Revolve Tour as a response to those requests. The result is a one-of-a-kind inspirational weekend for 6th– to 12th–grade girls that combines award-winning bands and speakers with real, relevant messages in a high-energy event.
It's awesome to see new young artists coming to the music scene and using their talents for His glory (though you might have heard of this one already since she's been posting videos on Youtube for years!) Gotee Records and tobyMac recently announced the signing of their newest artist Jamie Grace. The creative, multi-talented 19-year-old is a singer, song-writer, speaker on The Revolve Tour for teens & actress on the show iShine KNECT for tweens on TBN. We love how her bright personality shines whether she's speaking or singing, and how she infuses a variety of styles in her music.
In the video below tobyMac Introduces Jamie-Grace, and you can also listen to the song "Hold Me" from her EP of the same name:
Below you can also listen to her latest song "Holding On" with a slower tempo and a relatable message of holding on to God when our faith wavers in hard times.
tobyMac on Jamie Grace and Her Style
“Every couple of years, I get a true desire to find an artist and dig in to try to help them develop songs, find the right producers and introduce them to the world at large,” explains multi-platinum selling recording artist TobyMac. “Jamie Grace is a great fit for Gotee Records for a lot of reasons. She writes, sings and plays her own music. She has a style that can’t be put into a typical label box—a dash of reggae, a dash of folk, a dash of hip hop. I’ve said it a million times, ‘If we’re every going to be a shining city on a hill, we have to be diverse city.’ Jamie Grace is part of that diverse city. She’s such a natural, beautiful next step for our industry.”
For her song-a-day requests in January Jamie Grace did this cool ukulele cover of Francesca Battistelli's (This) Is The Stuff. What stuff drives you crazy?
