Breakout artist grentperez releases his highly-anticipated debut album ‘Backflips in a Restaurant’ (released via Fast Friends and AWAL), across all streaming platforms and YouTube.

In addition to the record release, grentperez is surprising fans with a music video for the 5th single “Need You Around”.
Since first bursting onto the scene with his gold-certified debut single “Cherry Wine” (a 2021 release that hit No. 1 on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart in several countries), the Sydney-born musician has brought his magnetic live show to stages all over the world as support for acts like Rex Orange County, Wallows, Laufey, and Cavetown, in addition to drawing sold-out crowds on his own headline tours and earning acclaim from the likes of NPR (who hailed him as an “artist who makes music you can fall in love to and fall in love with”).
The young songwriter has blossomed into an artist, and he’s got the following to prove it: With over 500 million listens on streaming platforms, a multi-continental touring resume, and notable support from tastemakers including NPR Music, MTV, Teen Vogue and more, grentperez is on the precipice of something big, notably like winning Emerging Songwriter of the Year at the 2024 APRA Awards.
Since his explosive debut, grentperez has grown a sizable audience across Asia, with his Top 10 Streaming Marketsglobally including Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan. With this new album, his engaged fan base in this region is set to grow exponentially.
The singer/songwriter, known for his signature charm of crafting melodic love songs, captures a genre bending evolution of his roots as a bedroom-pop sensation, mixing elements of R&B, indie-folk, pop-punk, symphonic pop, ’70s soft-rock, and so much more into his most boldly original body of work to date. The 13 track LP embodies a sonic playground, from tracks his day one fans will resonate with to their core, to offering newly explored range from the vocalist.
