Alana Grace was born on December 20, 1987, in Los Angeles, California, but moved with her family to Nashville, Tennessee when she was very young. Music has been a tradition in her family (with both her father and grandfather having worked as performers) - and music was a focal point in her upbringing. In Nashville, she attended Harpeth Hall - a girls' school with a national clientele and a strong performing arts program, counting Amy Grant and Reese Witherspoon among its alumnae.
In 2002, at the age of 14, she was one of seven finalists (chosen by music industry professionals) at the second annual Nashville Grammy Showcase, hosted by the Nashville Chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS).
A versatile performer, she is primarily a singer-songwriter, but has also studied dance and has acted in various television productions, including an NBC Movie of the Week and several TV specials, among them a TNN Entertainment Special. On June 1, 2005, she also performed her song "Black Roses Red" on The Today Show on NBC.
From the age of 12, she has been active in supporting the Children's Miracle Network, which does fundraising for children's hospitals, such as through the Celebration Broadcast, a televised fundraising event at which she has performed. Other benefit performances include ones for the Grand Slam for Children and the James Redford Institute for Transplant Awareness. Alana studies vocal training with Brett Manning
