Grant was born November 3, 1987 to Michael Grant and Daphynne Grant in Huntsville Texas where he graduated form Huntsville High school with the dreams of becoming an R&B singer! Currently in school at Prairie View A&M University majoring in business management, Grant plans on graduating May 2010. Inspired by a number of people he can truly say that music is his passion. At the age of 5 years old he began to sing in the blue bird choir at Greater Zion Missionary Baptist Church with the youth advisor Diane Patrick, who played a big part in his life when it came to music. Michael would always attended church an sing for the lord but never lead a song because of the fact that he was so shy to sing in front of a crowd. During a college camp at Texas Southern University a group of people who were in the camp with grant started singing in the lunch room and grant wanted to sing but didn’t do so. Grant started to do little rips and runs and they heard him and asked him to sing a song. Grant stated “I don't know how to sing"! But something in him made him start to sing Tyrese "Sweet Lady" and after that people went crazy! Later during the camp there was an audition where the camp needed a male vocalist to sing a Michael Jackson song for a talent show, and sure enough everyone voted for grant to sing. Grant auditioned for the part and got it with ease but was he going to be able to perform in front of a crowd the way he auditioned? Lets just say it was his first lead part and he performed it with a wig on impersonating Michael Jackson. At the age of 18 Michael began to sing in multiple gospel groups, one known as the Anointed Voices and the other consisted of three other guys who were Terrence Bell, Jermey Birks, and Milton Birks, who truly loved the lord an enjoyed singing for the lord. While singing with the groups Grant started to developed a high confidence level which lead him to sing his first gospel lead part of a song named LORD I NEED YOU. After sing his first lead part Grant began to sing not only gospel but R&B to. Thanks to a really good friend of mine Antowine Blackshire ( D.R.E ) showed me how to record and how to find your self as an artist. I began to sing hooks for him and he began to teach me how to record in a studio. Every since his first recording in the 8th grade he slowly developed a love for the studio and a deeper passion for music.If you have taken the time out to read this message about Grant please take the time to check out the new tracks.
