You won't find any of the typical hip hop stereotypes, either underground or mainstream. Instead, you'll discover a musical mastermind, confronting you with his poignant voice and original beats. With disarming charisma, Grieves is able to engage the entire audience in his music. Weather you discover him in the venue or over the radio, you're going to wish the experience lasted longer.

A mostly positive message combines with his self incriminating and brutally honest lyrics to make the perfect hip hop cocktail. You'll think it's delicious, but when you wake up the next morning with a headache and a sore throat you'll need to put the record on for another spin to discover why. Topics range all over the board: romance, family, addiction, God, it's all thawed out and presented with Grieves' contagious style.

Born in Chicago, raised in northern Colorado, and hailing from Seattle, Grieves has been creating waves all over the country. He's been touring consistently since 2003, and released his debut long player, Irreversible, in 2007. The albums overwhelming success has taken the hip hop community by surprise, and launched him into close to 100 tour dates from California to Rhode Island. He has toured with or opened for most of the big names in underground hip hop, and has headlined several tours through the Southwest.

Irreversible was added to CMJ radio playlists around the country on April 1st, 2008 and has charted every week since on the CMJ top 40 hip hop charts.

Looking towards the future, Grieves has begun working on his second full length album, which has yet to be titled, releasing this fall on Black Clover Records.
