About grandson

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, grandson, born Jordan Benjamin, has carved a unique and impactful niche within the contemporary music landscape. Emerging onto the scene in the late 2010s, he quickly distinguished himself with a potent blend of alternative rock, hip-hop, and electronic influences, all underpinned by a fiercely outspoken lyrical approach. His music is a potent cocktail of personal introspection and socio-political commentary, tackling themes of disillusionment, anxiety, corporate greed, and the fight for a better future with unflinching honesty.

grandson’s breakthrough came with the release of his debut EP, The Gilded Age, in 2018, which showcased his distinctive sound and lyrical prowess. This was swiftly followed by his critically acclaimed debut album, Death of a Bachelor, in 2020, a collection that cemented his status as an artist unafraid to confront difficult subjects. Tracks like the anthemic “Blood // Water” became a rallying cry for a generation, its urgent message and explosive energy resonating deeply. Other notable hits that have defined his career include the defiant “Stigmata,” the introspective yet powerful “Overtime,” and the more recent, searing indictment “Dirty” from his sophomore album I Love You, I Hate You.

His sound is characterized by a dynamic range, shifting from moments of quiet vulnerability to explosive, guitar-driven anthems. He masterfully incorporates industrial beats, soaring synths, and his own signature guttural vocal delivery, creating a sonic palette that is both aggressive and accessible. Beyond his recorded output, grandson has built a formidable reputation as an electrifying live performer. His concerts are not merely performances; they are experiences.
