He wrote his first song, “Might Go Crazy”, at age 18 during an emotionally trying time for his family. It wasn’t until college that Griffin realized his gift for translating his emotions and words into music. After a couple years of lessons, he began playing in his local church's band. He took to the instrument right away and found himself playing covers of his earliest influences such as John Mayer, Jack Johnson and NEEDTOBREATHE. At the age of 12, his father, an avid guitar player himself, gave Griffin his first guitar for Christmas.

During this time, he was influenced by all sorts of music including his Dad’s love for classic rock and blues. Growing up, he was obsessed with listening to music and would often find himself staying up into the late hours of the night scouring the newest releases. Griffin was born in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.
