With a rendition of "Afscheid," a 1998 hit song of the Dutch band Volumia! in which she appeared in the Dutch television show Beste Zangers, she reached the top of the Dutch singles chart in April 2011.
Glennis Grace founded the Ladies of Soul in 2012, along with fellow Dutch artists Candy Dulfer, Berget Lewis, Edsilia Rombley, and Trijntje Oosterhuis. In 2017, Oosterhuis left the company.
Glennis Grace was due to appear at the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam, Netherlands, as an interval act with DJ and music producer Afrojack.

In 2018, Glennis Grace appeared on America's Got Talent for the 13th time. During the audition rounds (episode: June 27, 2018) Glennis Grace performed Whitney Houston's "Run to You" during the auditions. Glennis Grace received 'Yes' votes from all four judges and advanced to the next round, where she performed "Nothing Compares 2 U" from Prince.

Glennis Grace will take over Jan Smit as a coach on the twelfth series of The Voice of Holland in July 2021. The show was suspended indefinitely after two audition episodes were broadcast, owing to sexual harassment allegations made by (former) participants, who allegedly went on for years, but also implied lax behavior of certain (ex)coaches.
