[12][13][14] In 2011, Grist was awarded fourth place in the Peak 102.7 CKPK-FMradio contest[15][16] supporting emerging musical talent, and received considerable airplay as a result.
In June 2015, she will release a children's storybook with imaginative photographs and original artwork along with an album of dream songs called Tomorrow Is A Chance To Start Over, published by The Secret Mountain.
Grist's "Tomorrow Is A Chance To Start Over" was a major feature of a second-season episode of the hit NBC series, Grimm in 2012.
[7] Grist's ballad "Swallow Me Up" was featured in a series filmed in Vancouver, Continuum, which was carried by cable giant Showcase in the spring of 2012.
As well, the MuchMusic series Degrassi: The Next Generation, syndicated worldwide, has placed three of Grist's songs, "Right For You", "Waltzing Matilda" and "Stick Of Dynamite".
Grist contributed an instrumental song called "Matilda's Theme" to the very successful Cornetto (ice cream) Cupidity Love Stories commercial ad campaign in 2014.
Her whimsical cartoons and chalk drawings are featured in stop motion animation in videos "Chemical Reaction", "Silver Lining", "Don't Forget Who Loves You", "Angels We Have Heard On High", "Branches Arms", and "Save You For Last".
After a couple of live CDs, Grist's first studio project, Imaginings, co-produced by her sound engineer husband, Mike Southworth, may well be the start of her own Norah Jones-like career arc.
