New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Sydney-based indie-alt singer-songwriter grentperez announces the Trail Mix Tape, out September 30th via Fast Friends and releases new single, "Ego."The perfect song for the summer, grentperez' honeyed vocals shine while he ruminates about a friend who celebrates their "successes" a little too obnoxiously. "It's meant to be a funny track about a mate who's slowly getting over his head in confidence," grentperez shares. Watch the lyric video here:
Trail Mix Tape is a genre-blurred compilation, which allows grentperez to explore new sonics and production, while continuing to perfect his "laid back chill sound with a lot of soul." The new album includes recent singles like joyous "Wishful Thinking," and heartfelt "Don't Grow Up Too Fast."
Growing up as the youngest of three kids in a Filipino family, grentperez immersed himself in music during his childhood (listening to The Eagles, The Beatles, Queen and eventually, Musiq Soulchild) and has been releasing music since he was just 12 years old. Pulling inspiration from his own struggles, trials and tribulations he heavily believes in everything he sings and is fully immersed in all creative processes, from beginning to end. NPR Music says grentperez' voice is "like a warm hug" the DIY pop act "makes music you can fall in love to and fall in love with," and he's been praised by other tastemakers like Triple J, KCRW, MTV, DIY, Wonderland, Notion, and The Line of Best Fit.
grentperez recently announced his world tour, which sees him supporting Eric Nam (YouTube Music's Global Trending "Artist on the Rise") in New Zealand and Australia. He'll be coming to North America for a slew of headline shows at New York's iconic Mercury Lounge, Los Angeles's The Echo, Toronto and San Francisco.
