Grafton
Grafton Downs is almost too good at music. Not only are his technical skills off the charts; he’s dedicated, creative, funny, and hearing him play (let alone getting to work with him) is always an honor. Grafton has great taste (he shares my love for Ratatouille, The Muppets, and ABBA) and the music he makes (under the name “Skid Mark”) is both insanely fun and so smart it makes my brain hurt. He’s one of my best friends and favorite people to create with. He’s currently studying jazz composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
