We caught up with the brilliant and insightful GrimmWubs (Use GrimmWubs as Name) a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

GrimmWubs, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

I knew I wanted to go full force into the EDM industry when. I got my first 10k streams in a month. And it wasn’t just plays it was people as well I had some sort of gift-making edm. I was addicted instantly. I became consumed by the thoughts of different bass sounds. I was consumed by the thoughts of different melodies. Now I have some sort of tune playing in my head. Sometimes it does drive me crazy but I love the drive it gives me!

GrimmWubs, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am GrimmWubs, born and raised in the heart of Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Music has always been my solace, my sanctuary. Growing up, I delved into various instruments – drums, piano, guitar, trumpet – and even lent my voice to the melodies that resonated within me. But despite my talent, I found myself entangled in the wrong crowd, leading to brushes with the law and a spiral into addiction.

After hitting rock bottom, I sought redemption in the form of music. Embracing emo hip-hop, I poured my soul into each lyric, finding catharsis in every beat. But old habits die hard, and a relapse sends me back to square one.

It was a chance encounter with a DJ board that reignited my passion. At that moment, I knew I had found my calling. Packing my bags, I ventured to Miami, ready to embark on my journey as a producer. But life had other plans, and a detour led me to Denver, where I decided to plant my roots and nurture the GrimmWubs brand.

Though the road has been rocky, I’ve remained steadfast in my dedication to music. Sacrificing comfort and stability, I embraced homelessness, knowing that my art deserved my undivided attention. And now, as the momentum builds and my music resonates with more souls, I stand on the precipice of greatness, ready to ascend to the pinnacle of the industry.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

I have noticed that no one big in the industry has a love for music anymore it’s all about who has the most clout. Or who has the most influence on fans? I want to bring the love of music back and stay humble to guide people back to the way of the light. I know what it feels like to have no one have your back and have nothing. I have been there multiple times. Originally I thought this was my direction but my heart showed me I was on the wrong path. The universe in one blink of an eye took every single thing away from me. A place to live my job everything. Even my studio (MacBook) but my love of music had such an impact on my followers I posted about losing everything after I begged my mom for more some money to help me get my things back one kind soul changed it all. There was a man that asked me how much I needed and I told him he asked for my cash app and sent more than what I needed. His kind heart humbled me a lot and put me back on the path I needed to be on for success.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

During these past few months, I have been struggling with depression and anger against the world and everything for no reason. I was mad at myself because I was comparing myself to others’ skills and amount of followers. I was feeling sorry for myself because I was being impatient. But it wasn’t the patience that was keeping me from moving forward, it was my self-confidence. So after losing everything and looking for a home losing everything but my computer and a change of clothing I told myself I’m not going to back down I will still push myself to do good and keep making music for others to love as much as I love making it. Now I’m getting bookings and my music is starting to gain some traction and starting to gain recognition from many people and even some of my favorite artists in the EDM community.
