Jamie-Grace Harper is a musician, speaker & actress. Diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at the age of 11 she lives life with a streak of resilience and dedication that is well beyond her years. She began acting and singing as a young child in school and church programs. A few years after her diagnosis of TS, OCD and ADHD she began pursuing music, acting and speaking as a career and a way to encourage other kids who may also have struggles in life. She was also an outgoing and friendly child but credits her few years learning to live with Tourette as the moments she realized she wasn't alone. She wanted to use her story to encourage other people by being apart of anything with a great message - music, films, etc. As the years after her 14th birthday, when she got a drum set, progressed she found herself writing songs, scripts and learning to play the guitar. Jamie has sense become a full time recording artist, an actress and wouldn't be opposed to creating films in the future.
