GRiZ ~ Rebel Era

Griz is a young musician from Detroit with a big sound. His unique approach to production involves sampling vintage vinyl, and reworking bits into a fresh modern mix. He's known for his builds, bass drops, and clever sampling. Griz defines his sound as electro soul. He's been playing saxaphone since he was a kid, which he incorporates into the live show. Last year he brought us his very cool debut, Mad Liberation, this year he follows up with Rebel Era, an album just as innovative and compelling. In generous fashion, Griz has released the entire album for free. Enjoy!
