About Me

Music has been a great passion of mine since.... forever. I began writing my own music at 11-years-old. The town I’ve grown up in, as well as the people in it have shaped me to be much of the artist I am today. I’m about being real; I’m about truth, and passion, and following your heart. Sure I’m a white kid from Suburbia, but, no matter how boring that may sound to you, I have something to say about it all. We all seem to look the same, talk the same, drive the same cars. But we, like the houses we live in, are much different on the inside than we appear to be on the outside. I haven’t endured poverty, or gang violence, or drugs, or abusive stepfathers, but I know something about feeling different; feeling misunderstood, when you know the whole world has a bunch of more important things to worry about than your inner turmoil. Maybe you can dig that; maybe you can’t; maybe you don’t want to. Either way, I’m gonna say what I want to. You may as well give a listen. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/18/2006
Band Website: purevolume.com/stevengrand
Band Members: This is a one man show.
Influences: My influences range far and wide as my own musical tastes do. From pop to hip-hop; from rock and country to jazz and R&B. Their is no one artist who captures all of the sound I try to emulate. Each of these artists have influenced my music in some form or another; no matter how great or seemingly insignificant. I believe everything we expose ourselves to has some impact on us; no matter how great; no matter how seemingly insignificant......Neil Young, Simon and Garfunkel, Maroon 5, James Taylor, Matchbox Twenty, Elton John, The Beatles, John Mayer, Chirs Brown, Blink 182, Fiona Apple, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ludwig van Beethoven, Imogen Heap, The Dixie Chicks, The Fray, From First to Last, Cold Play, Fleetwood Mac.
Sounds Like: you tell me. I’m thinkin’ I’m somewhere along the lines of Ben Folds, Matchbox 20, The Fray, Quiet Drive. Think piano driven rock/pop.
