Grant Chesin

Grant Chesin is an American in Paris, writing, performing, and recording his smart, soulful, and catchy brand of indie/pop songs that made his band Careless Cub a local sensation in Isla Vista, CA. The band's sound was described as a combination of the Arctic Monkeys and UC Santa Barbara alumni Jack Johnson, who was a huge influence on Grant's single "Broke the Yoke." Now that Grant is writing and recording on his own, his songs have become more intimate and soulful, reflecting his new life in France.

Born and raised in the Sacramento area, he grew up on the music of Motown artists like Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, and The Jackson 5, as well as classic rock artists, like The Beatles, Queen, and Boston. As early as age six, Grant was singing and writing songs, many of which were inspired by these aforementioned artists.

Grant sees himself as a connection between his early musical influences and the modern musical world. His recent marriage and move to France has given him a plethora of new material and he looks forward to releasing more singles in the near future. Listen to his new E.P. "What's Underneath" and give him a follow on instagram.
