Question: Your latest single, “New Style,” has been receiving a lot of attention. Can you share the inspiration behind the track and what it means to you personally?
Griff Galexxzee: “New Style” inspiration is drawn from many sources. First, I wanted to draw inspiration from some of my musical influences, Pharell Williams and Mickey Dolenz. Their unique style and melodies have always been something I wanted to play on. Lastly, I wanted a song that empowered women, as my mother was a woman of strength. I also have nieces that look up to me. This song, personally, means a lot since I personally produced it from start to finish.
Question: Your music blends elements of your Ghanaian roots with Toronto’s diverse soundscape. How do you balance these influences in your work?
Griff Galexxzee: I am very fortunate to be exposed to not only my Ghanian roots but to a diverse city like Toronto, Canada! I try to balance it by taking elements from each genre I really enjoy: pop, R&B, hip-hop, and funk. The beautiful thing about music is that it gives the opportunity to be creative and experiment.
Question: With “New Style” marking a significant evolution in your music, what new directions or experiments are you planning to explore in your upcoming projects?
Griff Galexxzee: With my up-and-coming project, I try to see how far I can push the envelope, so to speak. I am not afraid to try new things, and with that mentality, it opens up more doors and keeps people guessing what to expect. I don’t like to sound the same on every song.
Question: How do you think your earlier work, like “Facts Over Feelings” and “You Right,” has prepared you for this new chapter in your career?
Griff Galexxzee: My earlier “Facts Over Feelings” and “You’re Right” gave me the confidence I can make an impact with this music thing. After hitting the 1 million mark and charting on iTunes, it really sparked something in me to keep going and aim even higher.
Question: Can you talk about any collaborations or projects you’re excited about in the near future?
Griff Galexxzee: There is a boatload of talent out there, and a lot of artists I collab with are indie and not as known to the music scene. If I am looking at future collabs I would look forward to, I would say Drake, because we did a song way back! I would also say Chris Brown or Usher.
Question: You mentioned that seeing the “You Right” chart on iTunes was a pivotal moment in your career, boosting your confidence significantly. How has this experience influenced your approach to creating music, and how does “New Style” reflect that evolution?
Griff Galexxzee: “You Right” charted at a low point in my life and the evolution of “New Style” is a new chapter of Griff Galexxzee. It has made me embrace my craft more and take it a bit seriously. There is tons of talent out there, and its not often you get rewarded for your craft, and it has influenced me to never give up.
Question: As someone who continually pushes boundaries, how do you stay inspired and keep your music fresh and innovative?
Griff Galexxzee: A lot of times the things that keep me inspired are hearing all the unknown talent on Instagram, Youtube, TikTok, etc. that put out music hoping to be discovered. I do it for them! The independent artists that make music in their basement. A lot of things have been done already, so hearing something new keeps me going and experimenting and trying new things.
Question: Do you have any new releases or projects coming up soon that you can share with us?
Griff Galexxzee: I am currently working on a new release called “Golden Lights,” a rock-influenced song featuring Secret Suburbia, a talented rock band in Toronto. It is another element and versatility I want to share.
Question: Looking ahead, where do you see yourself in the next few years? Are there any long-term goals or dreams you’re working towards?
Griff Galexxzee: In the next few years, I want to be able to do movies, perform more shows and concerts, and start touring. I look forward to continuing to build the Griff Galexxzee brand.
For those eager to follow his journey, stay tuned for more updates on Griff Galexxzee’s evolving sound and future projects. Until then, let “New Style” and the anticipation of “Golden Lights” inspire and uplift, celebrating the unique rhythms that drive his artistry.
