A rising star in the new wave of pop music
Hertfordshire native Sarah Faith Griffiths is the artist known as Griff. Born to parents of Jamaican and Chinese heritage, she grew up on soul music and recalled hearing songs by Kirk Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Mary J Blige playing at home. However, it was Taylor Swift’s Fearless album that spurred her on to becoming a singer-songwriter.
On her brother’s computer Griff taught herself all about music production. She liked being able to record her own vocals as well as lay down harmonies. Inspiration for her lyrics would come from whatever was happening in her life.
After being signed to Warner Records in summer 2019, Griff released her debut single Mirror Talk and it was featured on Annie Mac’s New Name playlist. The song was conceived around the idea of having internal conversations with yourself. Her second track, Didn’t Break It Enough, followed shortly after, along with a video that Griff produced and art directed – plus she even sewed her own costume for it.
Griff released several more singles in the first half of 2020 including Good Stuff, Forgive Myself and Say It Again. She also fronted a Disney ad campaign over Christmas and landed a spot in the top five of the BBC Sound Of 2021 poll.
Her first release of the new year was a track about heartbreak called Black Hole. It became the lead single for her mixtape One Foot In Front Of The Other, due for release on 11 June 2021.
In March 2021, Griff received the Rising Star prize at the BRIT Awards and she also announced four headline UK dates for October 2021. In October 2023, Griff announced a string of UK dates for spring 2024. Following these dates came the announcement of her debut album, vertigo, and a world tour to accompany the record's release.

This was the first concert I attended alone and I had the best experience, I felt safe and enjoyed listening to Griffs outstanding vocals and she fed the crowd the best energy. Hopefully she returns to Manchester in the future.
Absolutely amazing well done Griff pure talent 👏
Didn't take too long to get into the venue. Griff was amazing and such a talent! Me and my son had a great night! They even found my hat when I thought it was lost!
One of the best live performers I've ever seen! Griff brings so much energy and joy to her performances that it all feels like one big celebration. Griff is absolutely here for the long run so go and see her now before she's selling out stadiums!!!
As a 63yr old who has been coming to the Locarno/Studio/Academy for over 40 years, this was up there with some of the best. A great voice can often be heard but it takes substance, style, personality and performance to make a memorable gig and to gain a following and go on to become a notable name. Griff has all of the attributes to achieve all of that at a pretty young age. Key words: energy, fun, passion, diverse musical styles and great performance skills. I hope she doesn't get seduced by the fashion model contracts etc and trappings of fame that others have and instead becomes a master if her profession and a name to be remembered.
Saw Griff at the Bristol 02 Academy back in 2022 and thought she was brilliant. Saw her again last night and she was even better! Great voice, personality, connection with the audience in an intimate venue. The only downside were a couple of groups of people who insisted on carrying on their drunken conversations at full volume during the whole performance, even when told to stop by other members of the audience. Griff was a professional and star throughout!
Had a fantastic evening seeing Griff. She sounded phenomenal and made the audience feel special. I hope I can see her again one day! The O2 Bristol was busy but comfortable, good quality audio and not too hot. Support act Aziya was also great, they sounded better live than on Spotify!
She is absolutely incredible!!! Go and see her if you get the chance!!!
This is the third time I've seen Griff after watching her support Dua Lipa and Coldplay in 2022. She was simply incredible on her Vertigo tour - every song she has is a hit that you can belt out with everyone else in the room. She has an unmatched stage presence and unique sounds that separates her from everyone else. If you have the chance to see Griff, you will not be disappointed.
