Here’s more about Althea.
* She’s a 19-year-old Chicago native who’s already released a good deal of music.
* According to an article in the Northwest Herald, Grace started performing at festivals around her home when she was just 7.
* She released an album called “Running the Show” when she was about 15. It’s still available on Amazon.
* She spent time performing alongside Gabe Burdulis as a pop-folk duo called Future Stuff.
* Future Stuff released a self-titled EP in 2016 and an album (“For the Time Being”) in 2018. One of the duo’s songs, “Act Like You Love Me,” has more than 100,000 streams on Spotify.
* You can find her more recent solo releases on major streaming sites, including a 2017 EP called “Dreamers” and a pair of 2019 singles, “I’ll Try” and “More Than a Woman.” The latter is especially impressive, and you can check it out below.
* Althea says that song “is all about being a woman in the music industry. Countless times I have been talked down to by sound guys. Asked ‘who’s girlfriend’ I am. Asked to ‘show my boobs (they didn’t use the word boobs🙄).’ Told I couldn’t be a guitar player. Told I would always be the singer. Told I had to dress sexy. Told I needed to lose weight. Told I had to dress better. So, this song is for all of the women out there who have heard the same and then some.”
* She’s opened for former Idol standout Bucky Covington and Leann Womack and for the band Los Lobos on many occasions.
* In fact, she was featured on Los Lobos’ cover of The Fear by the Shins, according to her Spotify bio.
* Althea announced her Idol audition in a social media post, encouraging fans to watch the show, adding “you might see me and my tiny sidekick.”
* The tiny sidekick is 2-year-old daughter Lennon, who has tuberous sclerosis, a genetic disorder that causes noncancerous tumors to develop in many parts of the body.
