<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif">GRiZ has blown up quickly. At 24 years old, he has asserted his place in the music world with his sax-infused sounds that find heart and soul within
the beat of the dance floor. A musically trained ear from the start, the artist played the alto saxophone since elementary school and took piano and saxophone lessons his entire life. He recently supported Bassnectar, Pretty Lights and Big Gigantic on their
respective tours, which then led to his own headlining tour — all within a year. His first album,
<i>Mad Liberation</i>, given away for free really put him on the map in 2012. His single "Smash the Funk" was featured all over, from Jay Z's
<i>Life+Times</i> to <i>This Song Is Sick</i>. The popularity of the release landed him on stages all over the place, from his hometown
<i>Movement </i>to <i>Coachella, Electric Forest, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Lightning in a Bottle, Governor’s Ball</i>, Diplo’s
<i>Mad Decent Block Parties</i>, <i>Summer Set</i> and the legendary <i>Red Rocks Amphitheater</i>. He also found time to play one half of Grizmatik with the Gramatik crew. The follow up solo album,
<i>Rebel Era</i>, features a scorching blues undertone and a wild ride through GRiZ's eclectic influences — from rock to dubstep. His hit single off of the album, "Gettin Live," has already seen over one million plays on Soundcloud.</span><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
