Many of us first discover music through our earth-side families, leaning in to the influences gifted to them by association. Whether it's classic rock on the car radio or retro pop on the boombox by the pool, music seems to always find its way to those who need it the most. Grayson Sanford’s own music-discovery experience isn’t too different. After the passing of one of his uncles, Grayson was given his vinyl, cassette and CD collection. Mainly it consisted of classic rock, disco, and jazz records, yet it was more than just the sounds for Grayson. He dove head first into where the music came from, which albums were more important than others in an artist’s career and which are regarded as the favorite or “popular” ones, the impact they had on the world at the time, and all concepts between. He began performing at age eight and never slowed, receiving a degree in Professional Acting and playing in a multitude of bands. The performance aspect provided an escape that ultimately pushed him into the creative atmosphere.
Given his background, landing as an electro/pop musician in 2021 is the perfect next move. Enter: Graystar. Graystar gravitates with planetary purpose around an entire universe of different sounds. Based in rock, funk, pop, rap, and some electronic, everything he creates is mixed up in a galaxy of fresh and exciting rhythms. Just as the way all stars eventually implode and release their energy into space, Graystar and his team have spent the past year quietly preparing his launch with modern-meets-80s branding. Green code grids, program file names, and nods to old school pop culture heroes are what make up Graystar’s aura. He is the type of new budding artist you rarely come across.
Prepare for take off.▍
