Lee Carter Feat. Grania - Lay Down (Original Mix)

Grania has been singing since a very young age, as she grew up surrounded by a very musical orientated family from dancers/guitarists/singers. Her mother was a singer for 15 years so Grania knew no different than her mother gigging throughout her childhood, which was a huge influence. Grania was originally into dancing more than her singing as she attended many dance schools across the UK (due to her dads job relocating her) studying many dance styles from Jazz,Tap,Ballet,Street,Modern and contemporary. Grania really got into her singing around the age of 12, it was just a hobby she did around the house and at family parties on karaoke, it then progressed when she was in high school her music teacher heard her sing in lesson and asked her to enter the schools talent show that year. Grania did her first performance at this talent show ,of 'I think were alone now' Girls Aloud and enjoyed every second, in her final year of school she entered the talent competition again and won, performing an acoustic version of Miley Cyrus-Goodbye with 2 guitarists.They decided to give the money to a Cancer Charity. Grania had always wanted to song write but never knew where to start, at the age of 15, she was a dancer for the Royal Northern College of Music production of West Side Story, a main cast member who played Anita, wrote her own songs and performed several on a break from rehearsals, Grania was so inspired and got advice on how to start song writing and ever since then she wrote lyrics after lyrics in a notepad. None of which were recorded until her first year in college when studying Performing Arts at Ashton Sixth Form, meeting other very talented musicians they collaborated and she spent a lot of her time in the studio writing and recording covers and originals. This is where she recorded her first song 'Little White Lies' , Wana Shimbeba helped her with the acoustic music whilst Grania had already written the lyrics and did the melody. Whilst at college she recieved singing lessons from Anton East. She also studied Acting and Dancing whilst at college and was main cast in Hairspray (Velma), Metamorphosis (Mr S), Bugsy Malone (Tallulah) and finished 2 years with Distinction *'s.  Whilst at college she started to work with producer/drummer Matthew Cosgrove who studied music at the same college, he showed her a track he had produced and she instantly felt she could write to it. This is where 'Can't Resist' came from, Matthew and Grania soon realised they worked well together and decided to start working as a team. Matthew sent her over several tracks and Grania started to write. Soon after they had 'Can't Resist' and 'Into the night' with several others that didnt make it to record as they felt they didnt work. Grania wanted to progress quickly and had so many ideas for the EP they were working towards releasing which they called 'Dirty Pauz'. Grania arranged a music video shoot for 'cant resist' and worked for several months organising this, sorting the venue, production team, make up artists, wardrobe and dancers. In april 2012 the video shoot took place and Grania was so happy with the results, the hard work had paid off... but that was just the start. Matthew still produces for Grania and they have recently released a preview of their newest song 'Ease the pain'.

Meanwhile, Grania became part of a charity 'Mothers Against Violence' which she started to regularly gig at their events to help promote the fast growing northern charity. Meeting many people within the charity who all had different talents, she then was asked to feature on the charitys official single 'Guns to Dust' with Tommy Riley produced by Mikey P. This was a great honour for Grania to be part of such an amazing charity and to be able to help. So they recorded this and this is set to be released in september 2012 after they have performed it at Blaze Festival (Preston 1st/8th september) and Albert Square Manchester 16th september.

Grania has been aired on Tameside Radio/Peace FM, Salford City Radio, North Manchester FM BBC Manchester and Key 103 !
Grania is working on some VERY exciting projects at the minute including several collabs across the uk and working with songwriter Theory from NYC.

' i want to thank all who have supported me so far and who carry on supporting me throughout my career. im working very hard to reach my dream goal and enjoying every minute of it.' Grania
