30 year-old Houston, Texas-based songwriter & multi-instrumentalist, whose musical spark ignited via The Beatles 1 infomercials in the early 2000’s, and a life-altering gift from his parents at age 9: an electric guitar. Growing up around family friend & mentor, Randy Miller (4-Time Grammy Award Winning Producer), he became fascinated by recording studios at a very young age. Eventually, they began working closely together. Summer of 2013, debut album Pointing Fingers released (Produced by Randy Miller). The making of this album inspired Griffin’s completion of MediaTech Institute’s Recording Arts Program in 2014, diving deep into increasingly versatile musical styles and perspectives in the entertainment industry.
