Thanks to his brother and sister grentperez — the Aussie-Filo singer born Grant Perez — first appeared on YouTube singing covers at just five-years-old, but while his siblings eventually left singing behind (beyond family karaoke, obviously), the 23-year-old multi-instrumentalist became a full blown bedroom tender-pop sensation.


“Cherry Wine” popped off in 2021 and after releasing four tantalizing EPs, now we have his eclectic, silky-smooth debut LP Backflips in a Restaurant. It’s a record that blends 90s R&B, bossanova, a pinch of indie-pop, and a lot of romanticism. Hanni from New Jeans keeps covering his songs and Rex Orange County is also a fan.


He joins us in the studio for the first time for a wide-ranging conversation that takes in driving simulators, anime, how his girlfriend of five years introduced him to stick n poke and public transport (!), and we course out his album — see what we did there? Plus his mullet, Toyotas, living with his parents, the fact that he’s actually incredible at drawing, his fave kind of SPAM, and how excellent he is at imitating a trumpet, saxophone, or any brass instrument you care to name… with just his mouth.


P.S. Has anyone seen B.o.B?
