Griffin White has been passionate about and directly involved in music from an early age. Starting at age ten, Griffin studied trumpet and tuba and played in his school band. His early musical experiences sparked a life- long love of all kinds of music, and it has provided a steady and meaningful influence throughout his life.
At college, Griffin was both an on air DJ and the college radio station’s music director for two years, where he rebuilt the station’s relationship with major and alternative record labels, interviewed up and coming bands, such as Sublime, and refocused the stations mission to provide the campus with the latest and best of the then current music scene. Serving as music director, Griffin developed a keen appreciation for the wide variety of musical styles and discovered his love of dance music.
As he explored the dance music scene after college, he fell in love with house music which led him to his current passion for being a club DJ.
“I was intrigued by how DJ’s could take you on a magical journey, and I wanted to be able to create my own to share with the crowd”, recalls Griffin. For those who have experienced Griffin’s wide range of styles from soulful vibes and soaring vocals to progressive beats to uplifting trance anthems, they agree that his sets have one thing in common and that is energy. Griffin believes in keeping the energy up and the crowd happy, he knows that music’s energy is what can carry a crowd along a wonderful journey, and when the energy is not there, the crowd loses interest pretty quickly.
In just a short time Griffin has established himself as a new and up and coming local DJ, playing at many of Los Angeles hot spots including The Factory, Ultra Suede, MJ’s, Eleven, The Eagle, and Micky’s, and in Palm Springs at Confession. He has played with Joe Gauthreaux, Casey Alva, Derek Monteiro, and Dan DeLeon.
When he’s not in the DJ booth, Griffin can be found teaching his bootcamp style kettlebell fitness classes in West Hollywood. Kettlebells are cannonball-like weights that you swing, pull and press through various movements, giving your body a total workout. Just like his music, he is always looking for new ways to train the body.
Griffin wants to bring back some joy to the dancefloor. The evening should be an experience that puts you through many emotions. Music is life, and Griffin hopes to make it a wonderful ride.
