GUEST BIOS
TRINITY GRACE is a faith-driven singer, songwriter, and performer whose passion for music began at an early age. With a father who was both a DJ and producer, music was in her DNA. She started singing as soon as she could talk and was already writing songs by the fourth grade. By 2016, Trinity began releasing her own music, and a year later, she took the stage for her first local performance. From her bedroom studio, she poured her heart into songs about love and life, establishing herself as a relatable and authentic voice. Additionally, she was one of the very first Music Lab student interns in 2019, a regular at teen open mics, & has graced the AmFam x GWML Summerfest stage as a featured youth artist.
In 2021, Trinity took a step back from music to focus on her relationship with God—a time of deep reflection that reshaped her identity as an artist. Her faith in Jesus Christ became the cornerstone of her life and her music. Today, Trinity is known as a Christian-based artist, using her gifts to worship, encourage, and uplift. Her mission is to bring communities together and keep God at the center of everything she creates.
Now in 2025, Trinity has returned with a renewed purpose, a fresh sound, and a powerful message. Through her music, she shares her walk with God and aims to shine light in a world that needs hope. For Trinity, music is more than just melody—it's ministry.
Elliott Bracy Jr, musically referred to as “EL’ BANG”, is a 26-year-old producer, song artist, writer, and engineer. He was born in Milwaukee, raised in the south, and relocated back at base at the age of 11. A year later, he touched his first piano, made his first beat, and wrote his first song. The rest will be historic.
From 2012-2016, Bang has been experimenting and sharpening his skills as a producer and engineer. He didn’t really have a choice because he didn’t have a steady income to pay for beats, studio time and mixing, so he learned to do it himself in FL Studio. In 2017, a friend of Bang sent him a flyer for an open mic event that was happening at Radio Milwaukee. It was the very first ever Grace Weber’s Music Lab. Coincidentally, before the flyer was sent, Bang was having thoughts about quitting everything. But when it was time to perform, he was reborn and received amazing feedback from the special guest, Jamila Woods. For it to be his first performance, he shocked the judges. At that moment, he knew it was just the beginning.
In 2020, Bang dropped his debut EP titled “Lay Down My Spirit”. This was around a time where his confidence was growing, skills were improving, and his ambition was rising. Being young, talented, and feeling unstoppable, he produced a song called “The Goat” at the top of 2021 where he flawlessly let people know that he’s greater than what people want to give him credit for and he can brag like your favorite boaster rapper. Bang has been dropping singles since then over the years, but in 2024, something sparked inside of him that made him start his debut album titled “EV3RL4ST1NG” with 13 banger’z. In the process, he lost his father in June and things took a terrible turn. He stopped for a little while just to process the new life change, and then picked himself back up to finish the job and fulfill his dad’s wishes of starting a label.
Now that we’re in 2025, Bang has bigger plans and goals with his career. His recording studio business, “Bang’s LitHouse Recordings”, will be one of the best studios in Milwaukee and the ultimate one-stop shop for upcoming artists with the best affordable prices. But while serving others, he’s still making waves with his own music and content. The only thing that’s next for him to make that ONE song, and the rest will be history. There’s no telling what the man got next up his sleeves.
MIA HART’s musical journey reflects both her roots and growth as an artist. Raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she was surrounded by music from a young age, developing a passion for singing and performing early on. Her experience includes performing in youth theatre and singing alongside her brother in her grandfather’s band. Throughout high school, she was also a frequent attendee and performer with Grace Weber’s Music Lab’s teen open mics and the AmFam Summerfest Showcase. Her path took a pivotal turn when she competed on American Idol twice, at ages 16 and 19, giving her a platform to showcase her talents and grow her audience. Over time, Mia honed a distinctive sound blending pop with soulful influences, drawing inspiration from artists like LÉON, Yebba, Olivia Dean, Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Tori Kelly. Mia’s voice is known for its emotional depth and contemporary edge. Through every song, she invites listeners into a world of rich melodies and heartfelt lyrics—music that speaks directly to the soul.
