In this episode, we get to know Grant and how he went from growing up as a black sheep in a small, religious town to thriving in the queer Portland community and making unapologetic, sexy songs about gay love. We nerd out about high school choir memories, the latest season of Ru Paul's Drag Race and Portland's drag scene, social media pros and cons, 2000s pop icons, and how to make the most of your music when recording vocals in the studio.
