Gryffin, from an early age, has always been musically inclined. He learned to play classical guitar and piano as a child. Furthermore, he also performed in bands with his peers to improve his instrument mastery skills.
When he entered school, Gryffin began by listening to songs by Avicii, Deadmau5, Skrillex and Swedish House Mafia which were all good. This inspired him a lot and soon after he started creating and releasing his own music. To do this, Dan devoted his free time in his dorm at the University of Southern California to working on his passion. His main purpose of making songs then was to have friends play them at college parties, but little did he know this was going to become a career for him.
By the time Gryffin finished college, earning a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, he had taken a deep dive into music, so he decided to pursue that career, which prompted him to move to Los Angeles.
It turned out that the DJ’s decision to move was one of his current professional achievements. He started touring in January 2015 and exactly one year later he released his first original song On the Way Home on January 22, 2016.

In August of the same year, Gryffin released another song called Whole Heart in collaboration with British singer Adio Marchant, known as Bipolar Sunshine.
