Grilli, a mezzo-soprano[8] or contralto,[9] and became familiar to New York audiences during World War I, when she sang at concerts to benefit causes in the Italian-American community.[10] She gave a professional recital in New York's Aeolian Hall in 1921, accompanied by Albert Wolff.[11] Commenting on coverage of her as a lawyer turned singer, she exclaimed, "I have never been able to discover... whether it is considered strange that a singer should be a lawyer, or that a lawyer should sing!"

In 1928, Grilli married Romolo Angelone (1897–1991), who was also from Sulmona, and worked at the Italian embassy.[13] The Italian ambassador to the United States served as best man at their wedding.[14] She had a son, Luigi Paolo (Louis), and a daughter, Elisabeth.
