Grace


The Ioasa brothers Anthony, Jason and Paul formed Grace in 1993, but they had been playing together since they were young kids in their father’s covers band The Plantations.

He was very strict about their music lessons, making sure they were equipped with musical knowledge in both theory and performance. Paul had guitar lessons (learning flamenco), Anthony had piano lessons and Jason studied jazz and classical bass.
