They formed in 1960 and went on to became one of Motown’s most successful groups, selling millions and millions of records.

GRiZ is a 27-year-old sax-playing DJ and music producer from the Detroit area, and describes his music as “future funk” – an apt name for his tasty mix of classic funk, electronic music, and soul, with some touches of jazz and hip-hop thrown in for good measure. He has released five albums, including his 2011 debut End of the World Party, 2015’s Say It Loud, and last year’s Good Will Prevail. Check him out, and you’ll agree that his music truly is a funky good time!

This interview was for a preview article for noozhawk.com for Griz’s concert on 10/15/17 at the Santa Barbara Bowl. It was done by phone on 9/28/17.
