Known for his vibrant pop/rock/soul mix and free-flowing vocal delivery, With his continued rise up the charts, Grammer still remembers where he came from and has remained grateful and humble. Grammer is thankful for his street(of Santa Monica, CA) performing journey as it's mentally prepared him for anything. "You gain a level of fearlessness, performing when no one's there to see you," Grammer said.
His debut album sounded like a mash-up of Jason Mraz, Michael Bublé, and John Legend. It's all easily listenable, if scarcely original. When asked about the album, Grammer had this to say: "My ultimate goal is to try to be real. It just so happens that I'm usually more happy than sad when I'm writing. And in general I think that life is pretty great, and it's cool to be here, so that comes through in my music. I don't have a dismal outlook, but I don't aim to make positive music. It's just what I am."The music lightly borrows from hip-hop music and has a rap music influence. Grammer's music leans toward a female audience, usually directing himself to a significant other and singing words of encouragement and affection. Filmed in Los Angeles with director Mark Staubach, the new video features Grammer just trying to have fun with the swimsuit model Dominique Piek as his love interest, and playfully looks at the ups-and-downs of relationships.
