Discover Grandson Soul – The Hip-Soul Fusion Guitarist Mixing Love, Groove & Grit

Updated: Apr 26

From Classroom to Lifelong Calling

A bustling grade-school hallway, a worn acoustic, and a teacher named Mr. Allmoss—that’s where my journey began. The moment my fingers found a raspy G-chord, I knew frets and strings would house every story I’d ever tell. That spark still fuels the music you hear from Grandson Soul today.


A Vinyl Shelf of Influences

My record collection is a time capsule of musical evolution, spinning everything from:

  • Elvis Presley and Tanya Tucker for raw swagger and country twang

  • James Brown and Michael Jackson for unshakeable grooves

  • George Jones, George Strait, Lonestar for heart-aching storytelling

  • Eminem, Dr. Dre, Tupac, Biggie for lyrical grit

  • All Shall Perish, All That Remains, Miss May I for stamina-testing metal riffs

  • Soul royalty—Bill Withers, The Stylistics, and more—for goose-bump melodies


Every genre is a chapter in the same book—one long love letter to music’s endless possibilities.


Blacktop Recess: My Metal Baptism

Before the Grandson Soul era, I slung rhythm guitar in a metal outfit called Blacktop Recess. Four musicians, one heartbeat. Those sweat-drenched nights taught me two truths: endurance is non-negotiable, and chemistry on stage matters as much as technical chops.


What Does Grandson Soul Sound Like in 2025?

Picture Hip-Soul-Country-Jazz-Metal fusion: warm croons, a little twang, head-nodding groove, and ear-tingling distortion just when you least expect it. If genre-blenders like Gary Clark Jr., Thundercat, or Chris Stapleton’s bluesier moments hit your sweet spot, you’ll feel right at home.


Sound bites:

  • “Soul-kissed riffs, hip-hop swagger, country storytelling.”

  • “Love songs for head-bangers and slow-dance believers alike.”

  • “The perfect soundtrack for a late-night highway drive.”


Songwriting: Love at the Core

I write about love in its most joyful form—that electric jolt when two souls recognise each other across a crowded room. Less candle-lit cliché, more wide-eyed wonder.


Redefining Success

Success isn’t a chart position; it’s the DM that says, “Your song made me feel something I’d forgotten.” If my music flips the switch—joy, nostalgia, goose-bump wonder—I’ve done my job.


Whether you searched “Hip-Soul fusion guitarist,” “genre-blending love songs,” or simply Grandson Soul, I’m honoured you’re here. Cue up a track, turn it loud, and let’s keep the journey playing.
