Juno award-winning artist Greyson Gritt was born on the Canadian Shield, raised on a dirt road, and lives as a trans, queer, non-binary folk-blues musician in Sudbury, ON. With a mouthful of soul and a truckload of blues, this Anishinaabe-Métis songster and producer is releasing their first full length studio album in early 2020. You may recognize Greyson as a creative force of Quantum Tangle, the 2017 Juno award-winners for Indigenous Album of the year.
Greyson’s solo work was nominated for Best Blues Album by the Indigenous Music Awards. In addition, Greyson’s work with Quantum Tangle has been nominated for Outstanding Engineer, Outstanding Album by NOMFA, and won the 2019 NOMFA for Outstanding Indigenous Album. This work was also nominated for Best Indigenous Album, Best Album, and Pushing the Boundaries, at the 2018 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
Greyson’s diploma in Techniques de sonorisation et d’enregistrement musicale à l’Institut d’enregistrement du Canada and experience as a professional sound technician has given them the opportunity to compose soundtracks for short films, record live sound for film and television productions, and provide sound editing and design for film, television and live stage productions. Some examples include: the television show Wild Kitchen – which airs on the First Nations Experience, the short film Little Man which won Audience Favorite at the Dead North Film Festival and sound design for Mary Walsh’s Canada, It’s Complicated.
