Since then music is her life. In 2000 she went to the casting of „Popstars“ but due to her nervousness she forgot text and melody She also makes sacrifices for her career: She gave up her tongue-piercing because it bothered the jury of "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" (German version of "American Idol") Gracia performed one song on the German soundtrack for „Bärenbrüder” ("Brother Bear"). The song is called „Götter der Ewigkeit” (Gods of eternity) and is sung by Tina Turner on the original score (OT Great Spirits). Gracia just recorded a duett with Michael Bolton. The song is called „Finally“, but it isn´t released yet. Gracia did change her record company. She’s now at Bros Music. Gracia, Stephanie, Nektarios and Daniel came together for a further charity project. They call theirselves 4United and recorded a song called "Don’t close your eyes". The amount of 0.50 Euro/Single will be given to "Ärzte ohne Grenzen" (MSF) from every sold single. Her third solo single "Run and hide" was released in the end of January 2005.
