Gryffin Lights Up NYC's Bowery Ballroom

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
