GriZ left the fans in shock as he announced his indefinite hiatus from his music career after October.

GriZ caused a frenzy on social media when he revealed that he will be taking an indefinite break from his music career. According to his post, he will play his last in October “for the foreseeable future and will be taking a good amount of time off from touring and the GriZ project.” He will conclude his remaining shows in the upcoming months, which include Bonnaroo, Shambhala Festival, and Breakaway Music Festival before embarking on the hiatus.

Throughout his musical career, the DJ, producer, and saxophonist have cemented his status as an influential artist in his lane. His music is characterized by fusions of funk, soul. hip hop, jazz, and electronica elements. Since emerging onto the scene in the early 2010s, GriZ has quickly amassed a dedicated fanbase and built a genuine connection with his audience through his engaging stage presence and high-energy live sets.

While this news has come as a shock to the fans, GriZ reassures that “life is really good” and that he is “following [his] gut instincts.” He also reflected on his successful career thus far, reminiscing the times when he “was djing to a room of no one at 9 pm for a free PBR or two.” He further sheds light on his plans, saying that “I’m excited to take time to travel, find fresh inspiration, write music, and be in a new headspace.” It’s important to take time for yourself and focus on mindfulness and rest when your body is asking for it.

Before his eventual hiatus, GriZ has also revealed that he will put on a final show and it “is getting announced this week.” Teasing that “it’s an intimate venue in a beautiful location,” the DJ continued to express his deep appreciation for the support he has received from the fans.
