With music lovers still atwitter over the Grammy Awards, two guests who enjoyed Sunday night's Ceremony already are looking to the future. With a brand-new song and hot new video, Russian-born pop sensation Grace Valerie is off to yet another successful year. Grace's fans have plenty to celebrate as her fresh tune already is making a splash.

"Don't Wanna Be Waiting," produced and co-written by Grammy-winning producer Randy Jackson, officially arrived on iTunes late last year. In just two days, this single raced to the No. 1 position on KingOfSpin.com, a favorite destination for DJs and radio producers seeking the most exciting new music. Last month, the song charted at the No. 2 position on SiriusXM's "20 on 20" channel and hit No. 1 on WNRG 107.9 FM- Florida's Energy Dance Mix Radio!

The video for "Don't Wanna Be Waiting" was directed by Taj Stansberry, the highly respected Hollywood auteur who has created music videos for- among others- Rhianna, Usher, and for Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull's song "On the Floor." Taj's collaboration with Grace blossomed into a gentle and highly emotional work. The video for "Don't Wanna Be Waiting" reflects Grace's feelings, which she considers common to women today.

"Girls' hearts will embrace this song for its message," Grace says. "Never wait until tomorrow to express your love and passion!"

Grace's new song and video are just the latest steps forward for the 22-year-old Moscow native who now calls Los Angeles home. After signing with Dream Merchant 21, music-industry veteran and American Idol judge Randy Jackson's record label, Grace made her Las Vegas debut last year with a showcase at the Mirage Hotel's Revolution Lounge. Following that triumph, summer brought word that Big Management had arranged for Grace's artistry to be licensed through Spinnin' Records in Holland. This agreement sealed Grace's status as an up-and-coming Worldwide pop-music phenomenon.

Grace urges her fans to prepare for even more surprises.

"2013 will remain very interesting for me," Grace Valerie says. "I will continue to travel and perform a lot and definitely will release my third single with Randy Jackson."
