Griff Talks Piano Lessons, Soundcloud Success And Growing Up In An English Village | MTV Push

Subscribe to MTV UK for more great videos and exclusives! https://bit.ly/3gJ08D9 Griff has always stood out from the crowd, growing up in a quiet English Village, as the daughter of a Chinese mother and a Jamaican father, she rarely met anybody who looked like her. As a child she yearned to fit in but by her late teenage years, Griff realised that being different was her super-power... After years honing and perfecting her craft alone, Griff began to start playing some of her own songs to other musicians she had met at Hillsong. Impressed by her songwriting and powerful vocals, they introduced her to industry contacts, and she quickly picked up a management deal at just thirteen, though she quietly waited several years, not releasing music until she knew herself as a person and artist. By the age of sixteen Griff was ready to flex her creative artistry and appealing to the contacts she’d met along the way, she started booking studio sessions; while also revising for her A-levels. 2021 is set to be another transformative one for Griff. She began the year in the top 5 of the BBC’s prestigious Sound of 2021 poll, was hailed by Taylor Swift on social media, and dropped her instant dark-pop anthem ‘Black Hole’. We can’t wait to see what’s next for Griff and are so excited to announce her as our global MTV PUSH Artist for September.
