No matter what, your words belong to you. Grace VanderWaal forever treasures her connection to words. As a kid, she always held them close and never let go. As a woman now, she finds the ultimate freedom in those words, speaking her mind, heart, and soul without filter through her songs.
Audiences initially got to know Grace at just 12-years-old when she parlayed winning America’s Got Talent into her rapid rise as an international artist. Among many accolades, she received the Billboard “Women in Music” Rising Star Award and became “the youngest person ever” to be featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 music list, and starred in the acclaimed film Megapolis from legendary Academy® Award-winning filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola.
The singer, songwriter, actress, and phenomenon amplifies the sound of healing scars, shedding skin, and stepping into her power on her 2025 full-length LP, CHILDSTAR. With a pen in hand, she’s writing the next chapter of her story—on her own terms.

CHILDSTAR is out now and I’m honestly brought to tears. To everyone who made this possible thank you. There were many times only a year or 2 ago I thought none of this was achievable and I’m so indescribably, inspired and proud. Most of all thanks to all of you. this is such a close project to me and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I loved making it. Please tell me what you think and I love you so so much

For a long time, I felt stolen. My face, my name, my body. I wrote and created my dream album/project, “CHILDSTAR,” as a means of processing those experiences.
I am so proud of this body of work - I literally put all my tears into every word. A lot of people feel close to my story and nostalgic for my past. As much as I would like to honor that, it’s cathartic for me to proclaim truth and what is mine.
I wanted to make a project that exercised all my passions: writing and producing, but also world building with fashion, color, and movement. Everything has been done with ultimate intention to carefully tell a story about girlhood, grief, identity, and control.
I want this project to be the last time I ever speak on my past, so I figure I might as well go out with some honesty. Here you have it, “CHILDSTAR” coming April 4th. I truly, from the bottom of my heart, hope you enjoy.

The art of giving is in tandem with womanhood. Giving more than you have - secrets, smiles, fake laughs, adolescence, innocence, and just about everything you’re made of. I am a performer, my existence is giving: some performance was taught, some came from a real place of passion. Sometimes I don’t know when I’m performing and when the show is over. I think of this sentence I wrote in my journal a while back - “What’s a woman without her body? What’s a child star without a stage?” ☆

Whats left of me is now yours. This song means a lot to me. I had been feeling the presence of a past person so deeply I realized they were embedded into who I will be going forward, forever. Whats left of me, as in, how is my individuality defined excluding you. Am I now this morphed figure of the both of us? Am I now just a breathy legacy of a fallen relationship? What about me is left untampered by you. I love you guys, please enjoy.🗡🌹
