In this episode of Riffs & Rhythms, hosts Kevin McLoughlin and Paul Robertson recap for our guest Kevin's whirlwind UK tour (and debate the merits of wing-back chairs), then turn the spotlight on Grippa—a rising pop artist whose blend of fashion, theatrics, and powerhouse vocals is taking the scene by storm. She began performing as a toddler, trained classically at Bak Middle School of the Arts, and has already released singles like “Love Is Enough” and the upcoming “Want That.” She’s worked with writers and producers connected to Lady Gaga’s team and deferred her Clive Davis Institute acceptance to focus on her career
