Grandson
Meet Grandson, the talented music artist making waves with his powerful storytelling and outspoken lyricism! His real name is Jordan Edward Benjamin, and he hails from Canada, but his heart and music reach fans all around the world.
Born on October 25, 1993, Grandson wears many hats: singer, songwriter, and activist. He's known for using his music to address social and political issues, encouraging people to stand up and speak out for what's right. Even though his parents thought he'd become a lawyer, his love for music and compassion for others led him down a different path.
In 2016, Grandson released his debut single, "Bills," which earned him international attention for its powerful message. From there, he's only kept climbing, entertaining audiences with his unique blend of alternative rock, hip-hop, and electronic music. I guarantee you'll sit up and listen as his songs tackle themes that matter, like mental health, addiction, and the environment.
Let's rewind to 2018, when Grandson released his debut EP, "A Modern Tragedy Vol. 1," followed by its sequel, "A Modern Tragedy Vol. 2," in 2019. Both EPs were massive hits, fueling a fire in his fans and showcasing his raw talent. His first full-length album, "Death of an Optimist," came out in 2020, and it's honestly one of my favorites. You'll find his chart-topping hit "Blood//Water" on this album, which features the amazing Tom Morello (if you know Rage Against the Machine, you'll recognize that name!).
But Grandson isn't only about making great music. He's a force for change, impacting fans outside of the music scene by partnering with organizations like the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and HeadCount. His activism deepens the connection between him and his fans, making him a true artist with a purpose.
So, if you're looking for music that has heart and a voice that demands to be heard, Grandson is your guy. His music and lyrics remind us that we can be the change we want to see in the world. And with his talent and passion, there's no telling what he'll achieve next. Keep your ears tuned to Grandson—he's a rising star with a message that needs to be heard!
