John Grant

John Grant is a truly original artist for our times. Restlessly experimental, his music has range and has encompassed everything from alt-country to dream pop, industrial to balladry, and his highly developed songwriting is at once deeply personal and political, ironic and heartfelt. 

A flamboyant stage presence and performances have built him a loyal following, especially as an alt music icon for the LGBTQ+ community having written deeply personal music about life as a gay man.

Following his UK Top 10 album Boy From Michigan, 2024 saw the release of his most opulent, cinematic, luxurious album yet, The Art Of The Lie. Undeniably a John Grant record that nestles humour into tragedy and bleeds anger into compassion, there is a musical ambition and nerve to The Art of the Lie which offsets its most political and personal moments.
