He was not allowed to listen to secular music and grew up listening to gospel artists like Helen Baylor, Shirley Caesar, and the Winans.[3]
He was a serious tennis player from age 11 and traveled regularly for games.[2] He was undefeated until he sustained a shoulder injury as a high school junior.[2] After having to stop playing tennis, Grice took a class about television that developed his interest in the entertainment industry.
