Electronic music producer, musician, composer, and DJ Grabbitz started producing around the age of 13.
"[It was] on my first family computer which came with Garageband," he says. "I made hundreds of beats and learned everything I could about the program, then transitioned to Logic Pro. I learned DJing out of necessity because I was making a lot of EDM at the time, and in order to show it off I had to DJ it. It started to become serious when I started to get attention from labels, got my first few major synch placements, and put out my first few official projects as Grabbitz that got millions of hits. "
Today, he describes his sound as, "a combination of rock and electronic music. I exist in both the thriving bass music scene, but I'm trying to incorporate more original songs which I do through my voice and rock influence."
His latest album is Big Epic Nothing.
"It's a collection of songs I really love and I think continues to push that line between rock and bass," he says. "I try not to set boundaries for myself while creating and I think the versatility really shows that on this record."
As for gear: "I can make music with any set of tools I have available but when I'm at my home studio, I have a few toys I like to use," he says. "Moog One, Mellotron, my Neumann u87 Microphone, Shure sm7b, my guitar collection."
Looking ahead, Grabbitz has plenty planned for 2025.
"I'm touring on a bus for the next few months, but I'm always looking to push myself further with my recorded music, and looking to collaborate more with my peers in electronic music this year," he says. "We're also going to be doing a lot of headline shows in the fall."
