In a year that can only be described as stellar, Grant alongside Ivan Gough sent their TV ROCK studio project through the roof. Their debut single ‘Flaunt It’ feat Seany B broke all records, achieving double platinum sales (160,000 units) and screamed to the 1 position on the ARIA charts; picking up 2 ARIA gongs for highest selling single and best dance record respectively. TV ROCK also released Sunshine City- their debut album to much acclaim. ‘The Others’ – a collaboration with Dukes of Windsor spent 12 weeks at 1 on the dance charts and was a top10 single on the Australian pop charts.
Regularly heard on Pete Tong’s Essential selection, the TV ROCKERS have recently collaborated with Dave Spoon, MYNC, Richard Dinsdale and Dirty South with a string of new releases slated for 2007. The duo have also achieved 7 1 ARIA club chart positions for their remixes and have remixed the likes of Groove Armada, Armand Van Helden, Supermode, Fedde Le Grand, Josh Wink and Meck to name but a few. The TV ROCK boys also recently closed the Australian MTV Music awards playing alongside Fergie, Silverchair and Pink to an audience of over 1 billion people!
