25 year old Atlanta-based musician Gravez is known for hard hitting percussion and a knack for melody that doesn't fall under genre or labels.

Now with over 30 million streams across the web and headlining world tours under his belt, Gravez
is an up-and-comer on the electronic scene. Tickets for Gravez availble here.
