Marc Griffin, known professionally as Marc E. Bassy, is an American singer and songwriter from San Francisco. He is the former vocalist of the Los Angeles-based pop band 2AM Club. His solo works include his 2014 mixtape Only the Poets, 2015 release East Hollywood, and the 2016 EP Groovy People, including the single "You & Me" featuring G-Eazy. Before putting out his own works, he was a songwriter, and wrote for artists such as CeeLo Green, Sean Kingston, Wiz Khalifa, and Ty Dolla Sign.[1]
Early life
Griffin was raised in the Bay Area, where his mother rented from singer-songwriter, Tracy Chapman. He was raised in different areas, including Richmond, CA. During his teenage years, he moved to Mill Valley and attended Tamalpais High School. After graduation, he went to UC Santa Cruz for music but only stayed there for two years and left school to start 2AM Club in Los Angeles.[2]
Career
Griffin started his music career as the lead singer of 2AM Club, releasing an album and mixtape. However, the band was dropped by its label Sony/ATV and went on an indefinite hiatus starting June 29, 2015.[3] He went to live with his friend in Los Angeles and wrote songs for other artists. After releasing Only the Poets and East Hollywood and receiving positive critical reception, he was signed to Universal Republic Records.[4]
In October 2017, Griffin planned to go on a co-headlining tour, the Bebe & Bassy Tour with American singer and songwriter Bebe Rexha in support of Bassy's debut album Gossip Columns, released on October 13, and Rexha's EP All Your Fault: Pt. 2.[5] However, the tour was shortlived due to an infection putting Rexha on strict vocal rest.[6] In March 2018, Griffin went on a US tour with fellow Bay Area artist Rexx Life Raj for his debut album.[7]
