I am me | Gracie Schram | TEDxKC

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. At the age of 10, Gracie Schram recorded her first CD raising over $30,000 dollars to benefit children in Haiti and Africa. A few years later, all the more poised and polished, Gracie turns in an arresting performance earning thunderous applause from the packed house.
At only 15 years old, Gracie Schram already possesses all the songwriting brilliance and vocal prowess needed to earn fast fans among critics and casual listeners alike. Schram’s album “I Am Me” marks her first time working with a full-fledged producer, but, surprisingly, it’s not her first album. At the age of 10, she recorded and self- released a six-song CD to benefit underprivileged children in Haiti and Africa. The impressively polished “Showers from God” went on to raise more than $30,000 for The Global Orphan Project, and the follow-up seven-song release, “Different,” also benefitted charity.

Giving back is at the heart of Schram’s passion as a songwriter, and it drives her pursuit of a career in music. “That’s the reason I got into music at all,” she says. “And as I started to perform more and more, it was great to see people inspired by my music and connecting to my songs.”
