Grace Gramins, a Wharton undergraduate minoring in Popular Music and Jazz Studies, was recently featured in Penn Today and Wharton Stories for her unique fusion of music and business. A passionate songwriter and producer, Grace credits the Penn Music Department with deepening her understanding of composition and performance. Through courses like Professor Anna Weesner’s songwriting class, she has refined her craft while connecting with a community of fellow musicians. As the music director of Penn Counterparts, the university’s oldest all-gender pop and jazz a cappella group, she has also played a vital role in arranging and conducting performances.
While her studies in finance and management have given her the tools to navigate the business side of music, Grace emphasizes the importance of her musical education at Penn. Receiving live feedback from peers, learning formal songwriting techniques, and working with faculty have all contributed to her growth as both an artist and entrepreneur. With a new single in the works, she continues to integrate her passions, showcasing the invaluable intersection of business and the arts within the Penn community.
