Grant grew up in Nashville, Tennessee as a descendent of one of the most prominent families in the city. Her family was religious, and Grant was exposed to church at an early age. She attended the Harpeth Hall School in Nashville, and during her teenage years, she took piano lessons, taught herself to play a guitar and started to create her own Christian music. Working as an intern in a recording studio, she was given a chance to record a demo tape of her music, which when it reached a producer from a Christian musical label Word Records, saw Grant offered a recording contract.

In early 1978 and prior to her high-school graduation, her first, self-titled album was released, which was very successful and something new to the world of Christian music. Grant’s net worth started to rise. She enrolled in Furman University and soon after started to perform in concert; the next year saw the release of her second album called “My Father’s Eyes”. Grant transferred to Vanderbilt University in 1980, but went on with her singing career. She released several more albums, and eventually dropped out of college in order to devote herself to her rising music career.

Her breakthrough album “Age to Age” was released in 1982, being certified gold and later platinum. It won the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance, and its hit song “El Shaddai” was awarded one of the “Songs of the Century” by RIAA. This considerably added to Grant’s wealth. Her next album “Straight Ahead” earned the singer a place in the Grammy Awards show the following year.

The 1985 album “Unguarded” was again something new and different, as it contained sounds that were more mainstream pop. Although the album was successful, especially the song “Find a Way”, those in the Christian music community were not satisfied to see this new success as the singer started to mix the genres. The same was with her 1991 album “Heart in Motion”, which found great mainstream success, selling five million copies. It’s song “Baby Baby”, written for Grant’s newborn daughter, became a worldwide hit, significantly intensifying the singer’s net worth.

However, many believed that Grant was leaving her gospel roots to embrace the pop fame. Her next two albums “Home for Christmas” and “House of Love” were composed of love songs and those reflecting Grant’s spirituality and love for God, to satisfy both sides of her fans. Her 1997 release “Behind the Eyes” was a little darker album containing soft rock and reflecting a painful period of Grant’s life – her divorce, but it was her highest charting album. Grant went back to her gospel roots with her next few albums, and being inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2003. She also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2006.
