Music Spotlight: Gryffin

You may know his remixes of Tove Lo, BANKS, Years & Years, and Maroon 5. What you may not know is that multi-instrumentalist/producer, Gryffin, started his musical journey at age seven; like a lot of us, with piano and guitar lessons. Unlike a lot of us, he took his talents further and eventually taught himself how to produce. From there, he was able to combine his musical skills with his love for EDM by putting his own twist on things. Remixes naturally followed, helping him break into the spotlight. 

How would you describe your sound and has it changed throughout the years?

I would describe my sound as melodic and uplifting dance music. My sound has evolved from the early days of the Gryffin project as I used to primarily produce house music, but then started to dabble into other genres like future bass as I began producing more and more originals.

What led you to make music?

I’ve always been doing some sort of musical activity since I learned the piano when I was little. After piano, I picked up the guitar and played in a few bands, but I was in college when I learned about producers like Skrillex, Avicii, and deadmau5 and would produce electronic music in my free time when I would be bored studying for engineering exams.

What are you currently working on?

I’m currently working on finishing my debut album. I’ve really tried to push myself creatively on putting forth the best album possible which I’m really excited to show everyone.

Dream collaboration(s) and why?

Few of my dream collaborations would be Florence Welch, MGMT, and Post Malone. I have a wide variety of tastes and I think that any of those three would be really cool to make a fresh sounding record with.

One thing you don’t ever leave the road without?

My headphones. Pretty obvious one, but I’m always working on music on the road and would not be able to function without them.

Outside of music, what are you most passionate about and why?

I’m a major basketball and Golden State Warriors fan. I’ve always been a fan of basketball, ever since I was little. I grew up in the Bay; so, by default, I’m a Warriors fan.

Cats or dogs? 

Dogs.
