grandson

For grandson the inspiration that “really resparked my sense of purpose as an artist” was two-fold. Watching social issues get weaponized to advance corporate agendas around the world- directly impacting the communities that championed his music and resisted fiercely alongside him. His second motivation was for his fans. He recognized that audiences ultimately come to grandson to find an outlet for catharsis and anger- to find community and channel their pain and hopelessness into something meaningful. “I believe that finding connection with one another, through music or otherwise, and making collective demands for a brighter, better future, can lead us to a more holistic way of living, thinking, and consuming. It all starts with a cathartic release of energy. Meet you in the pit.”
