Tristan Van Grant, originally from Ottawa, ON is an early millennial artist whose love for electronic music began in Victoria, British Columbia, when he stumbled upon an underground afterhours club at the age of 19. Originally inspired by artists like Dubfire, Mark Knight & Guy J, he pursued his dreams in the music industry by enrolling in school for Music Industry Arts and Audio Engineering. Tristan's career took off as he produced music using tools like Ableton and Pro Tools, but his true calling was in live DJing and seamless remixing during performances.
After facing personal challenges, Tristan temporarily retired from the spotlight and moved to Vancouver to focus on entrepreneurship. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and his time spent in Tulum, Mexico, reignited his passion for music 7 years later and he returned to the underground electronic community with a fresh approach. Inspired by the tribal rhythms and ethnic beats of Tulum, he embraced a new sonic identity, blending tribal house and techno to create a driving, organic sound that resonated with audiences.
Today, TVG stands as a testament to the power of passion and perseverance in the music industry. From his deep seeded hip-hop roots to his early dance music identity & discovery and finally finding his authentic sound within the tribal house and techno space. His journey showcases the transformative nature of music and its ability to connect with the soul. With a resurgent presence in the Canadian & Mexican underground electronic communities, Tristan continues to thrive, reminding us all that true passion never fades—it only awaits the right moment to resurface.
