"A little girl came up to me with tears in her eyes and said to me, 'Jamie-Grace, I heard your song 'Hold Me' and I used to cut myself, I used to hurt myself all the time and now that I've heard your song I know that God is holding me and I don't have to live in fear and I don't have to cut myself anymore,'" the gospel singer said.
"It's moments like that where I realize that even if I had to go through Tourette's and learn how to live again … I realize I would totally do it all over again if it means getting to inspire girls like her." added Jamie-Grace .
Jamie-Grace, who comes from a religious and musical background, released her first album "One Song at a Time" in September 2011. Her career has since blossomed rapidly as "Hold Me" is one of the most added singles to Christian Hit Radio stations.
