PLAN B LISTEN BACK: ROBERT GRACE ON HOW TIKTOK LANDED HIM A RECORD DEAL

Robert Grace

Robert Grace has been described as sounding like a cross between Lauv, 21 Pilots and Blackbear.

He told Sarina, on Saturday's Plan B, that he has been making music for ten years but it really did take one song to make it happen. That song is Fake Fine. Not only has it had the most views of his Tik Tok videos but it is the song that made Sony take notice and sign him up!

Before signing with Sony, Robert's bank account was at an all time low but he didn't give up his music dream. He told Sarina that he never had a real job, he was only ever built to do this. He was going to keep doing it until he literally couldn't do it anymore.

Writing Fake Fine gave Robert a chance to explore his mental health and he hope when people listen to the song they feel something.
