GRiZ talks hooking up with funk-god Bootsy Collins, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and the ride from $50 gigs to sold out shows

GRiZ

He's been funky since he's knee-high. Before his recent headlining show at the Iroquois Amphitheater, saxophone-slinging, multi-instrumentalist, DJ, and producer GRiZ dropped by the WFPK studio to chat with host John Timmons. The conversation ranged from his history as basement DJ, driving 400 miles for a $50 gig, to selling out shows and festivals. How he hooked up with legends Snoop Dogg, Bootsy Collins, and Wiz Khalifa for his latest album Ride Waves is pretty amazing. It's astronomical, baby!
