Decide by Grace Amos – Song of the Day

Our Song of the Day is Decide by emerging singer-songwriter, Grace Amos. 

Co-written by Nick Zaharis and produced by Darren Percival, Decide follows the tale of a young woman who starts having feelings for another woman, and the emotional consequences that come with exploring new parts of ourselves.

Grace says, “It’s about confusion and figuring out who you are – but also being scared of that. There’s a lot of pressure from society to figure this stuff out and for some people it’s not their time to figure it out or they’re not ready – that’s a lot to take on." 

Written during Grace’s final year of high school while in lockdown in rural NSW and recorded at Richard Belkner’s Free Energy Device studio, Decide lends itself to Grace’s love of narrative in music.

“I consider myself a storyteller – songs that are backed with meaning and an idea,” she says. “I like to write songs that might not necessarily always represent my experience but do represent the experience of people I know... it’s important to share other people’s stories, not just my own.”

Coinciding with the singer-songwriter’s 18th birthday, the release of Decide ushers in a new phase and transition for Grace, and the next step in her journey towards releasing her highly anticipated debut EP.

Following the launch of Decide, Grace has big plans for the coming year including performing at the upcoming Valleyways music festival alongside The Rubens and Middle Kids, and her first semester at Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music where she will further her studies in song writing and music production.

Grace has already established a local and international presence, having been selected to perform as part of the Australian tour for UK artist, HRVY, as well as being chosen as a finalist in the 2018 Discover Series. Grace was also the recipient of the 2018 Maton Guitars Britton Morrison Scholarship, which granted her the opportunity to attend the prestigious CMAA Academy of Country Music in Tamworth.

Hailing from rural NSW, Grace has since continued to develop strong connections with the local music community. In 2020, she launched her debut single, Listen Real Closely, which has since been played across national radio and streamed more than 36,000 times on Spotify alone.
