My Take
I have a soft spot for Andy Grammer because he literally earned his audience on the street before he ever earned a record deal. A Los Angeles native who busked his way to a 2011 debut album and the hit "Keep Your Head Up," he built a brand on relentless optimism, and unlike a lot of feel-good pop, his came from genuinely scrappy beginnings. That backstory gives his upbeat songs a credibility they would otherwise lack. He writes, sings, and produces, a true craftsman rather than a manufactured act. When I want music that pushes me forward on a rough morning, Grammer is exactly the kind of writer I reach for.
