Granni Gret
From regular raver to DJ extraordinaire! Granni Gret is here to sprinkle some joy and laughter into your life—one bass drop (and house track!) at a time. Catch her debut EP, “Granni’s House”, where every beat is a hug from your favorite goofy Granni!
Granni Gret originated as just a regular attendee at a local Albany, NY EDM show one day in 2018. She put on the persona mostly just for herself but was positively overwhelmed by the amount of amusement it brought to other people. Years later when she decided to pick up the musical craft for herself, she knew she had to do it as Granni Gret. This music genre has brought so much bliss and beautiful moments to Granni’s life that she wanted to be able to give that back in return to the community.
Granni Gret recently spoke about developing her identity, saying "I recently watched an episode of ‘UNHhhh’ where Katya and Trixie (two world famous drag queens) discussed the nuances of trying to build their drag personas and I was surprised by how much it resonated. It’s a peculiar process to try and discover an alter ego. How much of yourself do you incorporate? What lines need to be drawn and created?"
She continued, discussing the more nuanced elements of her identity. "The most touching part of GG’s journey is the redemptive juxtaposition between my personal experience of going to my own Grandma’s house and the driving factor between choosing to produce under this particular alter ego. Going to my Grandma’s house was often an unpleasant experience. To put it plainly, it was a very conservative environment and I had to dull myself down to appease the company. Granni Gret is just the opposite. Whenever Granni is around, people lighten up and feel free to go along with the goofy act. It influences some positive disinhibition in others."
It's been an uphill battle, but the Granni Gret persona has enabled her to connect with new people and strengthen bonds along the way which makes it all worth it. It was a big decision deciding what direction to go with this upcoming debut EP - Granni's House', but ultimately like the Granni Gret alter ego, it chose her. Granni hopes you all enjoy your visit to “Granni’s House”.
