Grace Aki BIO

From Japanese and American Southern roots, Grace has a taste for many cultures. And though she be little, standing at a whopping 4'10.5 (the half makes a big difference), she be fierce. She began dancing at 3, doing voice overs for radio and acting by 5 and became enthralled in storytelling and drama. Before graduating high school, she had already hosted several shows for a travel series, announced on air for FRIDAYS on Cartoon Network, became an award winning mime, and failed algebra three times.

Grace is the reigning Miss North Georgia Agricultural Fair Queen because upon her crowning, she was promised a funnel cake. Moving from her hometown of Dalton, GA to Chattanooga, TN, Grace became choreographer and marketing director for Closed Door Entertainment regional theatre company. Following her win for Best Actress Award for her role as Princess Fiona in 'SHREK' (performed on the historic Tivoli Theatre), Grace moved to the Big Apple out of fear. She then trained and graduated from Upright Citizen's Brigade & Magnet Theatre. Grace regularly performs, nay, KILLS IT at stand-up comedy around NYC.

As an actor she has trained at the award-winning theatre company and school: The Barrow Group. Currently she is developing a solo play entitled ‘To Free a Mockingbird.’ As a comedian she hosts the seasonal comedy show “SWEET MEAT.” She hosts the podcast ‘Tell me on a Sunday’, available for streaming on all podcast platforms. When she’s not doing all that, she feeds her cat.
