Funk isn’t merely a genre. It’s a state of mind. Such is the opinion of GRiZ, the North Detroit-raised musician who spends sunny days and neon-tinted nights in pursuit of good vibrations. The multi-talented GRiZ has cultivated a party-poppin’ corner of bass music all his own defined by sax-blastin’ productions and soulful live shows. His reflective nature and fun-loving attitude are mirrored in his unmistakable electronic creations, each their own serotonin-fueled gateway to a bona fide good time. Now building beats in the heart of Denver, GRiZ has proven that his eclectic style is boundless. A musical chameleon, GRiZ is never afraid to flip the switch from upbeat future funk to low-tempo glitch-hop, dive into the heavier leaning side of bass music, and even from time to time quench his thirst with a taste of four-on-the-floor or disco. This shape-shifting maestro can do it all, painting each cut with his vibey hallmark sound print and leaving no question of their genesis.

In March of 2025, after an extended hiatus, GRiZ announced his inaugural Seven Stars Festival that will take place in October Arrington, VA. The festival sold-out in minutes and will feature GRiZ’s first live performances in two years, alongside sets from iconic artists such as Subtonics, Hamdi, Levity, and Disco Lines, among over 60 other artists. Along-side the on-sale, GRiZ dropped the surprise ‘GEMiNI EP,’ a sonic foreshadowing for the future of his project. In May, GRiZ also announced further two-night plays at Wintrust Arena in Chicago, and Cow Palace in Daly City. Joining GRiZ for these two bass-boosted weekends will be Sippy, Boogie T, Gramatik, and Levity, among others.
