About gnash

Known for his genre-blurring brand of modern pop, gnash most recently released “wet cement,” which followed this spring’s release of The Art of Letting Go, a 12-song collection gathering all ten tracks featured on his acclaimed series of double-sided singles. He has released an array of collaborations, including “Glass on the Shelf,” a heartfelt collaboration with acclaimed singer-songwriter Mark Diamond, as well as “granola bars,” his playfully organic duet with fellow chart-topping singer-songwriter Annika Wells. Last year also saw a stunning series of deeply personal singles released by gnash under his birth name of Garrett Nash, including “Where The Sidewalk Ends“ (a collaboration with 7x JUNO Award-nominated Canadian singer-songwriter Scott Helman), “The Middle Of Nowhere,” “Super Glue,” Shwayze x Garrett Nash’s “Breathe In,” and a nostalgic cover of his childhood favorite, Fountains of Wayne’s “Stacy’s Mom.“ In addition, he celebrated the 5th year anniversary of "we" this past January with a sold-out show at the Roxy Theater.

He made his global breakthrough with 2016’s multi-platform blockbuster hit single, “i hate u, i love u.” The stripped-bare track reached the top 10 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” – where it spent an impressive 39 weeks – and singles charts around the world, earning 6x RIAA platinum certification and more than 3.5B global streams. Furthermore, the “i hate u, i love u” companion video is an unadulterated blockbuster, now with over 780M individual views via YouTube alone.
