Interview with Gromo | A genre-less journey and style
Brae Gromek also known as Gromo
I got the opportunity to talk with producer, artist, writer and music mastermind Gromo about his new release, music style, creative flow and much more!
Gromo’s singular sound explores the intersection of hip-hop culture and dance music of all shades, a genre-less approach he’s developed since debuting his first original singles in 2016. His early string of breakout independent releases captures his eclectic, future-bound style in full: electronic rhythms blending with rap swagger, sensual R&B melodies and richly textured production, all while rooted in his rock and metal background. The late-night hustle of “Don't Care,” featuring Hush, with whom he’s worked throughout the years, digs deep into trap beats, while the festival-ready “Nuke” bridges the worlds of rap and EDM. On “Find Me (Marco Polo),” Gromo leans into seductive R&B melodies as the vocalist flexes melodic rap bars, and “Give Me” is an electronic-tinged dancehall party-starter.
Gromo continues to expand his sound in 2020. On his new single, the sultry "Slowly," featuring breakout vocalist Rhea Raj, Gromo fuses cultures in a Latin-meets-Indian-pop reggaeton beat. Inspired by the producer's recent travels to Miami, where he connected with the city's Latin vibes and his own Latin roots, "Slowly" features minimal yet hypnotizing production, throwback R&B melodies and sexy tropical rhythms, all with a modern twist. Elsewhere, his forthcoming new single, "Wake Up," is an 808-heavy melodic rap breakup anthem built on sparse, bass-rattling trap drums and Hush’s melancholic lyrics, while "Cold Weather" features a hard-edged rap beat loop set to infinity.
“The Weekend”
Release date: 12.7.20
Guatemala-born, New York City-based rising producer Gromo continues to expand his future-bound sound today with the 808-heavy, melodic rap breakup anthem “Wake Up” ft. Hush. The song is built on sparse, bass-rattling trap drums and Hush’s melancholic lyrics.
"Slowly," with Rhea Raj, fuses cultures in a Latin-meets-Indian-pop reggaeton beat. Inspired by the producer's recent travels to Miami, where he connected with the city's Latin vibes and his own Latin roots, "Slowly" features minimal yet hypnotizing production, 2000s-era R&B melodies and sexy tropical rhythms, all with a modern twist. The fresh and airy vocal performance from NYC pop artist-to-watch Rhea Raj is the perfect compliment to the mesmerizing beat.
