  • "GRiZ recently took to social media to announce that after this fall he will be taking an indefinite break from the GRiZ project, allowing himself to take things slow and easy for a while, something he hasn’t been able to do in over a decade. In honor of his well deserved break, we’ll be taking a look back at how a young kid from Michigan carved out his own lane and grinded his way to the top of the world of electronic music."
    "Grant Kwiecinski’s life and career is a shining example of his motto “Show Love, Spread Love”, as that is exactly what the GRiZ project has done for the past 13 years. Putting out all that love into the world through endless dedication to his fans is surely exhausting, and GRiZ deserves some time to just be Grant. He’s given his fans memories that will last a lifetime, and he deserves the chance to go make some memories of his own outside of music."'

      Seeing him play sax right before ‘he who shall not be named’ went on for his dank dubstep set. I never knew it could fir so nicely with dubstep.

    I saw him open up the side stage at a local show in Vancouver back in 2014 and it was my first big show, I did homework on all the DJs playing and he was one of the acts I was most excited to see, I fell off the bass scene for years and didn’t start liking it again until paradiso 2018 at the gorge, last year was my first time seeing Griz since 2014 and it was the most insane set I’ve ever seen in my life, so much soul and work went into that set and everyone in that crowd was just so happy it was the most surreal feeling being in the pit, I love you Griz, I will be front and centre for that first show back ❤

    I grew up in East Lansing just down the road from MSU, and I remember sneaking into Montie House back in high school to go see Grant DJ and he blew my mind back then when I was just getting into electronic music. I have so many awesome memories of seeing Grant play at Macs and around EL! He is def one of my biggest electronic influences to this day! Your music has only gotten better over the years and thank you so much for spreading such a positive message! You really are a hero to a lot of people, myself included, so thank you for being you!

      @@PLFBEZ Yeah after a while I wasn't sure if PL would ever come back. I think GRiZ's situation is a lot different than PL's though, he probably just wants to chill for a while until he gets bored and decides to come back lol. I think I saw somewhere that he said he's still gonna work on music during his break, so maybe he'll drop some random stuff on soundcloud before he makes an official comeback.
