John Grant

Queen of Denmark

John William Grant was born on July 25, 1968 in Buchanan, Michigan. He moved to Germany in 1988 to study languages and lived there six years before founding The Czars in 1994, which he led until 2006. He plays piano and sings, holds American and Icelandic citizenship (the latter from 2022), and has released solo records since 2010.

Queen of Denmark came out in April 2010, and Pale Green Ghosts on March 11, 2013 on Bella Union, produced by Biggi Veira. Grey Tickles, Black Pressure (October 9, 2015, Bella Union and Partisan) was produced by John Congleton and reached 5 in the UK. The Sunday Times, via Wikipedia, said Grant falls short of perfection in life but comes close in his art.
