GRiZ

Grant Richard Kwiecinski — performing as GRiZ — is a Detroit-born, Denver-based DJ, producer, and live saxophonist whose genre-defying future funk style blends electro-soul, funk, and electronic music into one of the most distinctive live experiences in the festival circuit. Playing saxophone live during his DJ sets, GRiZ creates an energy that bridges the emotional warmth of classic funk with the kinetic power of modern electronic production — a combination that has earned him devoted audiences at major festivals for over a decade. His sound draws on the legacy of Detroit's musical history while pushing into bass music, jazz, and soul territory that few electronic artists explore with the same authenticity. His EDC Las Vegas 2026 kineticFIELD appearance is a b2b set with bass music producer Wooli — one of the most anticipated collaborations of the 30th anniversary festival, pairing GRiZ's genre-spanning creativity with Wooli's heavy bass production.

American producer Grant Kwiecinski won Best Live Act at the DJ Mag Best of North America Awards in 2019, cited for integrating live alto saxophone improvisation with electronic production in real time. His album Good Will Prevail (2016) debuted at #1 on the iTunes Electronic chart and charted on the Billboard 200 — an independent achievement. At EDC Las Vegas, GRiZ performs on EDC Las Vegas 2026 — kineticFIELD (b2b with Wooli), commanding some of the venue's most in-demand time slots.
