Griffin grew up around music and admits she gets her passion from her father, a jazz and funk musician who plays everything from saxophone to piano and who has performed with US stars like Eugene Wilde and Betty Wright. “I’m going to be there and love you for being who you are.” “It’s like, whatever you choose to do I’m going to rep you, she says. “And the only relationships that I know and that I have experienced are relationships with men who were living that lifestyle – the hood lifestyle – and the bad boys.” ‘Trap Or Die’ taps into that ride or die mentality. “I’m an emotional woman so my songs are always about relationships,” explains the first generation Haitian-American songwriter.
It’s what Griffin has described as her very own “hood romance” and breakout single ‘Trap Or Die’ reflects this with lyrics about love, loyalty and eschewing the conventional 9-5. New Religion – which has been produced in part by Skrillex – speaks directly to unconditional love, fiery relationships and unbridled romantic desire.

Now it’s time for her to step out on her own – her debut solo EP is released this month and is packed full of steamy jams about bad boys and good sex it’s also as catchy as hell. Born Nastasia Griffin and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, the R&B songwriter relocated to Atlanta for college and buried herself in music, eventually penning songs for superstars like Beyoncé, Usher and Macy Gray.
