GRiZ Bio:
Today at age 25, GRiZ (or Grant Kwiecinski, to his mom) is already being hailed as visionary. With his latest releases Say It Loud and Chasing The Golden Hour Pt. 1 (both via his All Good Records imprint), follow-ups to their predecessors, End of The World Party, Rebel Era and Mad Liberation, GRiZ has had a massive year. A sold out spring tour saw the artist headlining some of the nation’s top venues in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philly, Nashville etc., the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre and the Detroit Masonic Temple in his beloved hometown. Just this year alone, the sax man released six singles that all claimed the coveted #1 spot on Hype Machine’s most popular charts.

[@MrRapstar420]

GRiZ, Pretty Lights, Gramatik, and Big Gigantic are so inspirational for me with music it's ridiculous. I want to see a show with just them

[@robsamp405]

Big Grizmatik..pretty lights hopefully opens.

[@MrRapstar420]

exactly that would be perfect. haha i'm going to electric forest this summer. Fingers crossed that they will all be there

[@mysillyum9836]

dude! go to CounterPoint Fest in April! Pretty Lights, GRiZ, and Big Gigantic will be there!

[@Zachh228]

Should've been at Electric Forest 13 ;)

Haha get it because hArd tiMEs with 2020 BAD!!

[@Ryan-xq3kl]

@@WinterandNoodle its gon b ok

[@yours12342]

Such respect for bringing so many various instrument licks and riffs into these songs. On a level above the rest of the electronic masses.

[@xota-prebs4593]

+Sir Bomb Right on!

[@SuperFocx]

+Sir Bomb Yes Sir

[@solarskwintz8197]

It's a Lynyrd Skynyrd song - Gimme back my bullets ( in case anyone was interested)

[@KatarinaK1]

There's still a few true composers left in the world.

[@DrGrantH]

I miss old griz. Not that new griz is bad, just that our tastes have diverged and that's part of his journey as an artist. I just want an old school funk revival is all.

[@trevorthompson4102]

9 years old. Still on repeat 🔥🔥

[@cbd7575]

Griz’s music ages like fine wine... will never forget when I found his music in 2013 and have been listening nonstop since. Very few days go by where I don’t listen to at least one his tunes

[@Zachh228]

1:50 = chillsssssss down my spine

[@jacobsheafe4068]

Zachh228 every time

[@Hekamiah112]

Oooyeaaaaaaa oh my gooood wow yessssss

[@xKONYAKJAK]

Always come back to this banger

[@tfales12]

This track is absolutely bangin... Cant wait to see GriZ again.

[@Soniti1324]

Griz, you are the last hope for modern music

[@lambsus]

and gramatik

[@THECHARLIEHARLEY]

Big G

[@lokdabest]

Big Grizmatik

[@Soniti1324]

***** You must have missed the part where he FUCKING DESTROYS playing a saxophone. You're not somehow more "intellectual" for decrying electronic music. It just makes you old.

[@Revivethefallen]

Arkanis Bawlz Has anyone answered your question? I can only explain my experience and enjoymeny if you care to listen😁

[@thelocust64]

I recently dropped out of nursing school because my drinking got out of control and honestly this song has really inspired me over time to change myself and push through the hard times and to never stop pushing when things get hard

[@cbd7575]

if you like the message from this one check out his new song gotta push on

[@DntMkeShtCmplctd]

Hey man, I don't usually leave comments on KZbin - but I wanted to log in just so I could leave you a message. I hope you're getting control of the alcohol and not letting it control you these days. Just remember that the bottle will never bring you the satisfaction or joy that you can expect from completing nursing school. You've gotta save your own life before you can save others. Reach out to friends or family to help guide you, and if they aren't there when ya need em, you can always drop me a line. I've felt the low.

[@fdpunchypops7814]

Nice comment man. really. Good on you and take care.

[@johnb8265]

Hey GRiZ and team! Your music is helping me get through everything going on right now in 2020. Thanks for making such great beats, my friends!

[@Goblin720]

This song was just as amazing live as I dreamed it to be.

[@whoaaDAMN]

Saw GRiZ last night and had never heard of him. Damn, he's dope

[@rjharris9074]

whoaaDAMN and life began.

[@jaydub5647]

If u liked griz check out gramatik

[@rjharris9074]

if you want to get real crazy check out griz-matik

[@villybouchard8825]

+Rj Harris if you think Grizmatik is dope check out Big Grizmatik !

[@rjharris9074]

Villy Bouchard big griz-matik is no joke, I lose my shit if those three toured.

[@robcortese]

It's nice seeing someone portraying Detroit in a good light; its not all bad.

“Life is so strange when it’s changing, yes indeed I’ve seen the hard times and the pressure’s been on me” - Ronnie Van Zant Coming up on the anniversary soon…. rock in peace ☮️

[@hunterbrown447]

Cant believe that's where the sample came from fr

[@MrBenespam]

First time I have seen 1440p quality on a youtube video. I couldn't think of a better way to experience it for the first time than with this epic video/song!

[@OtisThePianist]

Was so honoured to get to hang out with this dude at Astral Harvest for the brief time he was able to chill out! See ya for more good times at Shambhala buddy!

[@Drewbinashbin]

GRiZ is the fucking man. He straight killed it at Wobbleland in San Jose. Very creative and talented.

[@ionutrotar6108]

combining elements of old school with new ones ... ! Awesome

[@vinylvibes143]

I agree w/Mr Rapstar, pretty lights, griz and gramatik are so amazing and inspirational, pretty lights started this whole electrosoul vibe and I'm forever changed for it, best music to jam to, chill to, hoop to, everything!! I'm so lucky to have this music in my generation or my "rebel era"! Hah :) much love for this man

[@CaptainSmooth01]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! never heard of the others besides Griz and I love them all!

[@birle4989]

[@tinram745]

I was at this concert... DEMF, Electric Forest stage.

[@Lippotiddiez]

When somebody asks me what kind of music i like ...i never seem to find a typical genre to stick by. So i let them hear your tracks. You've seem to have found every thing i like about music and put it all together in your tracks!! Keep it going!

[@Lippotiddiez]

[@bbonsignor]

Jessika Langlois It's more fun in the rain anyway!!

[@jacobc2477]

+Mason Gualandi It always does.

[@kim15742]

When I first heard this song, I cried because it was so beautiful. When I came home a few moments ago, I tried it with my good headphones and cried again, because I didn't believe it could get any better. I don't cry often.

[@JL86d]

Top tier production GRiZ! Keep on funkin'!

[@bqrre]

Floating away...just like water. So much vibes, endlessly.

[@trevorbrown6415]

[@dj-yv7oi]

[@heckoninghoot]

Not to brag buuuuuttt..... I was there and it was fucking awesome raging in the rain, Griz had the best set of the weekend at demf

[@bobdole4680]

That sax and guitar are killin it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jacobspencer5282]

Griz at DEMF 13 was probably one of my favorite sets, I didnt even know it was raining until Big G came on

[@hbw1995]

Can't wait to see Griz and Bassnectar in San Fran this November!

[@xPhreaky]

that was one hella rainy night, but will always be remembered!

[@Eternalsunshine128]

WOW. Love those sax solos. Weee want the funk

[@1969rushfan]

I'm sure you blew Lynyrd Skynyrds mind with this one. Awesome incorporation!

[@fdpunchypops7814]

So over into themselves videos like this, the live montage! all the shots of the epic crowd! woooooooooow. Soul - jazz - hip hop all been added to electronic before just like a 100000 types of these videos have been made before. I was hoping GriZ would be different because i'm searching for something NEW, The search continues.

[@realkewlmann]

Great music. I'm definitely checking out more stuff from him.

[@travisshilobrit2945]

Still get goosebumps..........Never will this get old, Masterpiece.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
