How can you measure everything in life? Check the name of Avant-Pop Hackney-hailed rising collective, GRAMN. for a clue.
Working as a backing vocalist for Iggy Azalea at the age of 18, it wasn’t until precocious lead vocalist Aux starting working exclusively with boundary-pushing producers and multi-instrumentalists James Lowe and Johnny Tomlinson, that GRAMN. was born. Using their music to measure out raw and often harsh truths, but to a beat, so it’s a bop.
Inspired by a melting pot of influences – from Destiny’s Child to Kendrick Lamar and contemporary provocateurs such as Tiera Whack – listeners are transported somewhere new and untraversed.
Buoyant hip-hop beats, tightly-wound R&B and jazz melodies, mellifluous rap and neo-soul merge for a body-winding listening experience, but also a lifeline in difficult times. Sharing stories on racism, domestic abuse, family, love, and Aux’s own struggles with mental health, this outspoken and honest candour is central to GRAMN.’s essence.
