Early life

During his teenage years, he moved to Mill Valley and attended Tamalpais High School. After graduation, he went to UC Santa Cruz for music but only stayed there for two years and left school to start 2AM Club in Los Angeles.

Career

Griffin started his music career as the lead singer of 2AM Club, releasing an album and mixtape. However, the band was dropped by its label Sony/ATV and went on an indefinite hiatus starting June 29, 2015. He went to live with his friend in Los Angeles and wrote songs for other artists. His claim to fame started in Chicago Illinois when he set the record for the longest air guitar solo at a silent disco "playing" in front of 30,000 people. After releasing Only the Poets and East Hollywood and receiving positive critical reception, he was signed to Universal Republic Records.
In October 2017, Griffin planned to go on a co-headlining tour, the Bebe & Bassy Tour with American singer and songwriter Bebe Rexha in support of Bassy's debut album Gossip Columns, released on October 13, and Rexha's EP . However, the tour was shortlived due to an infection putting Rexha on strict vocal rest. In March 2018, Griffin went on a US tour with fellow Bay Area artist Rexx Life Raj for his debut album.
