From a young age, Gräsbeck showed a keen interest in music and began playing the piano at the age of six. Gräsbeck's talent was quickly recognized, and he began studying at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki at the age of 14. He studied under some of the most renowned music teachers in Finland, including Liisa Pohjola and Eero Heinonen. Gräsbeck's dedication and hard work paid off, and he graduated from the academy with top honors. After completing his studies, Gräsbeck began his career as a concert pianist. He quickly gained a reputation for his exceptional talent and was invited to perform at some of the most prestigious concert halls in Europe, including the Royal Albert Hall in London and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.

He was particularly renowned for his interpretations of the works of Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin, and his performances of these composers' works were considered some of the best in the world. In addition to his solo performances, Gräsbeck was also a sought-after chamber musician. He frequently collaborated with other musicians, including violinists, cellists, and other pianists, and his performances in this capacity were equally impressive. Throughout his career, Gräsbeck received numerous awards and accolades for his contributions to classical music. In 1972, he was awarded the prestigious Pro Finlandia medal, which is given to individuals who have made significant contributions to Finnish culture.
