Grant Knoche is a Dallas-born, LA-based singer, songwriter, and producer who represents a new wave of self-contained pop artists. Emerging from a background of heavy touring as a child performer, Knoche transitioned into a sophisticated solo artist by teaching himself production on Logic at age 11.
His sound is characterized by a dark, synth-driven aesthetic that blends elements of electropop, R&B, and dance-pop. He gained significant national attention through NBC's American Song Contest, where his self-produced track 'MR. INDEPENDENT' reached the grand final, showcasing his ability to translate bedroom-born tracks to a massive stage. His career arc is deeply tied to his personal narrative, particularly his coming-out process, which served as the thematic foundation for his debut EP, 'COLOR ME BLUE'. Critically, he is noted for his technical proficiency in production, often cited for his 'deep bass' and 'intimate' vocal treatments. He occupies a space in the LGBTQ+ pop landscape alongside peers like Troye Sivan or Years & Years, but with a more aggressive, production-forward edge that emphasizes his role as a producer-performer.
