John Grant is an Iceland-based musician who has sold out Royal Albert Hall and performed at Glastonbury, Latitude Festival, and elsewhere. Following the demise of his first band, the Czars, Grant left music entirely for over five years, only to achieve greater success as a solo artist (his acclaimed 2015 solo LP Grey Tickles, Black Pressure went top five in the UK). Born in Michigan to a devoutly religious family, Grant has lived in Iceland full time since 2011, the same year he was diagnosed HIV-positive. Grant’s most recent album, Love Is Magic, is now available via Partisan Records.
