Griff at the Roxy: Global pop sensation Griff released the “Astronaut” single in December, with piano by Coldplay’s Chris Martin. “He really got stuck in,” Griff said. “We listened to maybe 30 of my songs together, but he kept stopping ‘Astronaut.’ Chris advised me to strip it all back and keep things simple, so I had the cheek to ask him to play on it himself and I am so honored he agreed.” Hear that song and many more at the Roxy. 

“Griff is the multi-faceted modern pop star where normal rules need not apply,” reads her bio. “Born and raised outside of London, she started making music early in her teens. She realized at an early age — whether through her Chinese-Jamaican roots or her all-encompassing approach spanning songwriting, production, fashion, and design — that she was different. From day one, Griff’s learning curve has proved similarly sideways: she played just one gig prior to the pandemic in support of DIY EP Mirror Talk, with lockdown mixtape One Foot In Front of The Other rocketing Griff to pop stardom whilst stuck in her bedroom. The barrier-breaking project won Griff the prestigious BRITS Rising Star award and two NME Awards. To date, she has amassed over 680 million streams across her catalog.”

Griff at the Roxy: The event takes place at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 6 at the Roxy.
