Driven by intelligence, resilience and pure talent Grant McKenzie's story is one of dreams, determination and success. Born and raised in the fishing community of Richmond, British Columbia, Grant commenced his musical endeavors at age seven in the form of his older cousin's acoustic guitar. Needless to say, this interaction would forever alter the fate of McKenzie's young life. Engrossing himself in numerous live and studio projects, McKenzie quickly established himself as a revered member of Vancouver's thriving music scene.

While still juggling a high school workload, Grant's sheer determination and musical ability would propel him to the musical forefront. Touring both nationally and internationally with the support of commercial radio airplay, McKenzie soon found himself sharing the bill with music icon Bob Dylan in Toronto's esteemed Molson Amphitheatre. Shortly thereafter, while immersed in several of Vancouver's renowned musical showcases, McKenzie was informed that the work of his current project would be featured on an upcoming episode of the highly rated Warner Brothers TV series, "Dawson's Creek". Accumulating a plethora of media attention and critical acclaim, McKenzie continued to perform both North and South of the 49th parallel.

In 2004, after pursuing a very successful solo effort, McKenzie again involved himself in two very diverse, flourishing projects. A first-time producer, McKenzie was instrumental in shaping and creating the "Storybook Sessions", the debut EP of young Vancouver artist, Andy Roy. The disc received rave reviews, further establishing McKenzie as a prized component of the Vancouver music community. Appropriately, McKenzie also caught the attention of the upstart nu-metal project, Nikki Hurst, and was employed shortly thereafter as the group's guitarist. After performing at the Vancouver summer festival, "Wake West" (with Sum 41) and the October release of the "Nikki Hurst EP", McKenzie sought for an outlet to meet his creative, personal and musical abilities. Due to McKenzie's venerated reputation, this would not take long.

Co-founding the high-energy Pop-Punk outfit, Remember August, McKenzie's writing and performing capabilities were prominent in the band's rapid rise to the forefront of the Western Canada music scene. Releasing two EP's and garnering the attention of both US and Canadian labels, the band found itself playing to sold-out shows across Western Canada just 6 months following the group's inception. In June 2005, the band was awarded the "Favourite Band of the Year" honour by YouthInk Magazine, a student-based Vancouver publication with a distribution of over 75,000 copies per issue. One month later, the band's stage reputation of sheer madness landed them a spot on the prized Vans Warped Tour with the likes of Fall Out Boy, The Offspring and The Transplants. The group's extraordinary on-stage energy, coupled with the incredible participation of the on-looking crowd, overwhelmed both fellow performers and tour managers, compelling the group to entertain label offers before re-entering the studio for album preparations.

Grant continues to both perform and record in several capacities under the close watch of both industry members and fans. Combining intelligent musical arrangements with poignant lyrics and an insatiable desire for success, the future truly is promising for Grant McKenzie.
