Gryffin’s incredible set on Wednesday night left the crowd at the Bowery Ballroom in a euphoric daze. From BORNS to Ariana Grande, HAIM, and The Weeknd, some of the hottest tracks of 2015 were amplified into EDM masterpieces, driven by pulsing bass lines and beautiful piano harmonies. The man behind the genius remixes and seamlessly blended tracks is Dan Griffith, a producer and DJ who is also half of the EDM duo The White Panda. While Griffith has been pursuing music with The White Panda since 2009, he has recently gone on to pursue a solo career with the stage name Gryffin. His remixed tracks of Maroon 5’s “Animals” and Years and Years’ “Desire” have been hugely popular and his “Desire” remix was included in the soundtrack for the film We Are Your Friends, which starred Zac Efron.

A classically trained pianist since the age of seven, Gryffin uses his musical talents as the groundwork for the reworking of his tracks. At the Bowery Ballroom, Gryffin smoothly switched from the keyboard to an electric guitar to provide live accompaniment to his set. He was joined on stage by singers and musicians, from a master electric violinist to vocalist Sizzy Rocket.

Griffith had his first ever live show at SnowGlobe music festival last december and is joining Kygo’s Cloud Nine tour for the Toronto and Chicago shows. ALthough his show at the Bowery Ballroom was only his third show, he has been stirring up the EDM scene with his unique and original sound. Just this morning, Griffith released his debut original single “Heading Home,” which features Australian singer-songwriter Josef Salvat. Gryffin has already broken the surface and there's no doubt that he'll be the next big name in the world of EDM.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
