Through the Eyes of NiSi: Episode 24- Music Spotlight

Time for our music spotlight with some amazing females- Grace Weber, Sean Stewart-Godfrey, SVNNH, and MalicaMusic.
Learn more about them and how to connect below.

Press PLAY to listen to 5.25.22 show

GRACE WEBER

I had no idea that little Grace that I’d seen sing back in Milwaukee as a child many years ago (with CAPITA Productions), had grown up to still be singing and giving the people good music. My sister called me up one day and said ‘…NiSi, you remember Grace?’ If you don’t know Grace… you’re welcome (in advance). Grace Weber is an American R&B singer, songwriter and producer from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. She lives in Los Angeles right now but still keeps her ties to the 414.  Over her career, she has written for and collaborated with artists like Masego and Chance the Rapper. Grace won a Grammy for the song “All We Got” (feat. Kanye West and the Chicago Children’s Choir) on Chance the Rapper’s mixtape, ‘Coloring Book.’ Weber has performed on national television shows such as Apollo and The Oprah Winfrey show (she even got a check, nice check at that).

Grace still represents for the 414 and one thing I found amazing about her, is her Music Lab. The Music Lab is a FREE monthly music and arts education program and talent accelerator for greater Milwaukee area high school students! At The Music Lab, students have the opportunity to learn about the music and entertainment industries through featured guests. They are also given the opportunity to collaborate, perform, and build relationships with their peers.

The season finale of Grace Weber’s Music Lab is LIVE TONIGHT, be sure to click HERE to RSVP and see if you can still gain access.

SEAN STEWART-GODFREY

I saw the beautiful, Sean Stewart- Godfrey before I ever heard the power in her voice. Sean is the wife to Brandon Godfrey who performs with the #SoulofMotownVegas. My good friend, Cj (who also performs in the Soul of Motown), posted an Instagram video of Sean and Brandon performing as NPerson for their weekly show. I was like okay ma’am, she has some pipes. I finally got to see the Soul of Motown show when I went to Vegas for my 40th bEARTHday. I had to get to another show so I didn’t get a chance to meet her, however we’ve connected through social media. I just knew she had some music showing off the vocals, so I asked and SHE DID!

See more of Sean Stewart-Godfrey HERE!

SVNNH

In life, unexpected things happen. Fortunately for me, sometimes I am in the right place at the right time and knew the right people. I met SVNNH because of knowing Keema Mingo. I met Keema because she is an amazing director. She needed another makeup artist for a parade that her daughter was performing in a few years ago. We’ve stayed in touch over the years and when she unexpectedly needed a makeup artist for SVNNH’s debut music video, she called me and I was available! SVNNH is a beautiful soul, talented and definitely is a name you need to remember.

See more from SVNNH HERE!

MalicaMusic

This beautiful lady, you’ve probably heard her thoughts in a song because she wrote it. However, her voice is just as amazing as her pen. I learned of Malica through my ex husband because he shared a video of her talking about her experiences being in the music industry, sharing gems of what to look out for. Dibbling and dabbling with singing and acting all of my life and in the process of putting my own project (did y’all hear that? I’m working on my own project… we’ll talk about that later), she continually shares her gift and lessons she’s learned. Through her social media, she shares the importance of simply living and embracing every moment.
