Griff is a British singer and songwriter who was born on January 21, 2001. Her debut single, “Mirror Talk,” was released by Warner Records in 2019.
Griff’s empowerment anthem “Mirror Talk” was released in 2019, and it was clear right away that UK music had a big new pop talent on its hands. The accolades haven’t stopped pouring in since then. In 2020, the singer—real name Sarah Griffiths—was nominated for The Ivors’ Rising Star Award with Apple Music, and Taylor Swift, one of Griff’s most-cited influences, praised her. Griff seemed to be on his way to owning 2021 before it had even begun, taking a top-five spot in the prestigious BBC Music Sound Of poll before winning the BRIT Award for Rising Star, which had previously gone to Adele, Sam Smith, and Celeste. “It terrifies me.”
Griff looked set to own 2021 before it had even begun, taking a top-five spot in the coveted BBC Music Sound Of poll before winning the Rising Star BRIT Award, which had previously been won by Adele, Sam Smith, and Celeste. “It’s terrifying,” says the narrator. Griff described joining them on Apple Music in March 2021 as “absolutely terrifying.” “I’ve been through the list many times—it just drives home how important this is.”
Griff started writing music when he was ten years old. Her first track was inspired by the same source she uses now: her own life experiences.
“My first proper song was called ‘Target,'” she explains, “about mean girls at school making me their target.” Griff’s disarmingly honest pop covers yearning and heartbreak (“Black Hole”), loss (“Good Stuff”—a stunning ballad written about the memories of growing up with foster children who will, eventually, leave one day, but which also doubles as a searing break-up track) and hope (“Paradise”), and is inspired by artists such as Swift, Lorde, HAIM, Cyndi Lauper, and ABBA. Prepare to adapt to whatever she’s investigating. “People say things like, ‘Oh my gosh, this helped me get through my breakup,’” Griff says. “It’s still bittersweet and heartbreaking to know there were so many.”
“People say things like, ‘Oh my gosh, this helped me get through my breakup,’” Griff says. “And it’s such a bittersweet, sad thing to know that so many other people feel the same way I do. But it’s also wonderful to know that, hopefully, I was able to bring into words thoughts that people didn’t realize they had.” Here you’ll find Griff’s strong pop, as well as tracks from his intimate Apple Music Home Session.
