Gryffin

Gryffin, born Dan Griffith on October 29, 1988, in New York City, is an American DJ, music producer, and multi-instrumentalist who has become one of the most prominent names in melodic electronic music. Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Griffith grew up playing piano and guitar before studying electrical engineering at the University of Southern California. It was during his college years that he discovered electronic music production, blending his classical training with modern dance music to create his signature emotionally-driven sound.

Gryffin first gained attention through his innovative remixes on SoundCloud, particularly his rework of Tove Lo’s “Talking Body” and Years and Years’ “Desire,” which collectively earned tens of millions of plays. His original productions followed, with breakthrough singles like “Heading Home” featuring Josef Salvat (2016) and “Feel Good” featuring Daya (2017) establishing his brand of melodic, guitar-infused electronic music. His ability to play live instruments during DJ sets, seamlessly switching between guitar, piano, and electronic production, set him apart in the dance music landscape.

His debut album “Gravity” (2019) was a critical and commercial success, featuring collaborations with Aloe Blacc, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Slander. The album solidified his position as a leading figure in the melodic bass and future bass genres. He followed it with “Alive” (2022), which expanded his sonic palette and further demonstrated his versatility as a producer and songwriter. His live shows, particularly his multi-instrumental festival sets, have made him a headliner at events like EDC, Lollapalooza, and Coachella.

By 2026, Gryffin’s net worth is estimated at $6 million, accumulated through major festival bookings, international tours, album sales, streaming revenue, and brand collaborations. His unique position as both a classically trained musician and electronic producer continues to drive his success in the competitive dance music industry.
